Jordan James says he can barely believe the dream start he has made to life on loan at Leicester City.
Jordan James says he can barely believe the dream start he has made to life on loan at Leicester City.
The 21-year-old made a transfer deadline day move to the Foxes from French Ligue 1 side Rennes and has quickly become a fan favourite at the King Power Stadium.
He opened his account in the 1-1 draw against Wrexham last week, then went on to score one goal and create another in Leicester's 3-1 victory at the Championship's other Welsh club, Swansea, on Saturday.
And after helping secure the win that sent Leicester up to third in the table, James' focus turned to international duties with Wales ahead of Thursday's friendly against England at Wembley.
"I don't think you could have started in a better way than I have started," he told BBC Radio Leicester.
"I genuinely can't believe what is going on at the moment.
"When I hear the fans singing my name, it's seriously what you dream of."

In his first month with Leicester, James has already scored more goals than he managed across his entire first season with Rennes last term.
He featured 24 times across all competitions for the French top-flight side, having left boyhood club Birmingham City for the capital of Brittany in August 2024.
"It was a tough season last year for me, I didn't play as much football as I wanted to," James reflected.
But he was quick to add that he has rediscovered his best form on returning to English football and the Championship with a Leicester side expected to challenge for promotion straight back to the Premier League.
"I've started this season unbelievably, and I feel fit, strong and confident," James said.
"I'm just riding the wave and seeing where it takes me."
