The US international stalwart is in demand this summer following Leeds United’s relegation from the Premier League, with several suitors weighing up a bid for his services
The race to sign US captain Tyler Adams is ramping up on the eve of the new Premier League season with two new suitors joining Chelsea in the fight for his signature.
The midfielder arrived at Leeds United to significant fanfare last summer and was a standout performer for the Yorkshire club during an otherwise dismal campaign. The Whites were eventually relegated as Javi Gracia and Sam Allardyce were unable to beat the drop following the sacking of Jesse Marsch in February.
The 36-time USMNT international played 24 times in the Premier League for the doomed outfit, with an unfortunate hamstring injury 12 games from the end of the campaign curtailing his season early. Since then, the former RB Leipzig prospect has been linked with a host of top-flight clubs, with his performances last term having caught the eye of several rival clubs.
The American star has emerged as a potential target for free-spending Chelsea, as per the Athletic, with new head coach Mauricio Pochettino looking to bolster his squad following the Blues’ disappointing 12th-place finish last season. Although the West London side are heavily interested in Brighton’s Moises Caicedo, it is not thought that Adams is viewed as a potential alternative.
