Leeds United track Tyler Adams as Jesse Marsch plans to lure him to Elland Road
Leeds United are hot on the heels of RB Leipzig midfielder Tyler Adams this summer, according to the Daily Mail.
The newspaper has reported on their website that Jesse Marsch is planning to lure the American international to Elland Road, following in the footsteps of Brenden Aaronson.
With Leipzig allowing Adams to leave, Leeds are already planning to bring in cover ahead of Kalvin Phillips’ expected departure to Manchester City this summer.
It is suggested that City are keen to secure the Yorkshire Pirlo for around £50million.
Leeds could use that money to help with a move for a new goalkeeper and striker, with Victor Orta still in the market to strengthen the squad at Elland Road dramatically.
Marsch is using his links in the game effectively too, with Adams a player he knows really well given their time in America and in Germany together.
The boss even handed the 23-year-old his professional debut while at New York Red Bulls.
Get it done.
This is a move that should happen regardless of Phillips staying or leaving.
Leeds have been crying out for options in midfield for years now, and if you want to succeed, you need quality options on and off the pitch.
Adam Forshaw and Phillips have both had their serious injury issues in recent years, and Mateusz Klich struggled with form in the 2021-22 season, so just adding one name does not cut it.
Adams would come in and add serious depth, and European quality and help Marc Roca push for those two starting spots at the base of midfield.
Rotation is a gift that we haven’t had for far too long, and this would be a move that would allow Marsch to mix up his options at Elland Road.
This is certainly one to watch with Leeds and Marsch definitely hot on the heels of the American, who has serious European experience and can add loads to this group.
