Championship club Leeds United expect to sell Chelsea target Tyler Adams by the end of the month.
That is according to a report from 90min.
They claim that Leeds are expecting Tyler Adams, 24, to exit Elland Road before the close of the summer transfer window.
It is explained that the United States international has a £25million release clause in his Whites contract, which is why he’s attracting a lot of interest right now.
90min’s report explains that Chelsea have been in talks with the representatives of Adams about a potential move to Stamford Bridge.
Apparently, Mauricio Pochettino’s side think the defensive midfielder could be a good fit for them.
However, there’s rival interest for his signature from the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Brentford and Brighton.
Described as “special” by Jesse Marsch on the Men In Blazers YouTube channel, Adams is a top-quality midfielder that is too good to spend a year in the Championship.
The United States captain performed well during his debut season in the Premier League, albeit his campaign was cut short by injury in March and he had to watch his teammates eventually suffer relegation.
He wouldn’t be our first pick when looking around the transfer market to bolster the centre of the park, but the £25million-rated star may actually turn out to be a really shrewd addition at a great price.
There’s no doubt Mauricio Pochettino’s squad is still crying out for something extra in the midfield department.
