Jordan James has revealed he turned down offers from Premier League clubs this summer to join Wolves on loan from French club Rennes. The 22-year-old midfielder explained that he avoided top-flight options because he did not want to join a struggling side, having previously experienced losing campaigns with Birmingham City and Leicester City. Wolves hold an option to make the transfer permanent next summer.

James has made six substitute appearances in the Championship and started twice in the EFL Cup since arriving at Molineux. Currently on international duty with Wales ahead of a Nations League fixture against Portugal, the midfielder stated that his primary goal is helping Wolves earn promotion back to the Premier League.
