Newcastle United want to sign Tyler Adams from Leeds United to help unleash Bruno Guimaraes
Newcastle United are eyeing the signatures of Leeds United duo Tyler Adams and Brendan Aaronson, according to Football League World.
Both players joined the Whites on five-year contracts last summer, with Adams arriving from RB Leipzig and Aaronson arriving from Red Bull Salzburg.
But FLW notes that Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is now keen on bringing the USA internationals to St James’ Park this summer.
“Sources have exclusively informed Football League World that Newcastle United have their eyes on Adams and his fellow American midfielder Brendan Aaronson in a bid to bolster their squad ahead of a UEFA Champions League campaign,” according to FLW.
“The Magpies of course finished in the top four of the Premier League under Eddie Howe this past season and are looking for fresh faces, with Adams and Aaronson on their list.
“FLW has been told that Adams is the more likelier target and his potential acquisition could give Bruno Guimaraes more freedom in the engine room, whilst Aaronson is perhaps not first-choice on their list of attacking midfielders this summer.”
Exciting prospect
There is no doubt that the Magpies will be adding to their ranks this summer in order to prepare for life in the Champions League, with Howe definitely in need of a few new faces to allow his side to compete on all fronts.
They obviously have plenty of financial backing, but they will be careful not to breach any financial fair play regulations, and that can be achieved through the signature of the Leeds pair, who will be available for relatively low fees given the club’s current situation.
Not only are the Whites now playing in the Championship, they are also currently without a director of football.
Newcastle meanwhile can offer plenty of incentive for both players to make a switch to St James’ Park this summer, with the American duo set to find it very hard to say no to top-class Premier League and Champions League football next season.
