Tyler Adams already faces uncertain future at Leeds United, Arsenal hold advantage to sign him
Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams faces an uncertain future at Elland Road with the club at risk of Premier League relegation, according to Football.London.
The American international has established himself as a pivotal and key performer for the Whites since his move from RB Leipzig last summer, featuring in 24 Premier League games before his unfortunate thigh injury picked up in March.
Adams has been crucial to Leeds United’s season after Jesse Marsch added him as one of his first additions at Elland Road last summer, but given the club’s current position, the player is attracting Premier League interest.
According to Football.London [4 May] Arsenal hold the advantage over Newcastle United in the race to sign the American international this summer as he faces an uncertain future at Elland Road.
Cruel blow to lose
Given the sorry position Leeds United find themselves in right now, the interest in Adams’ signature is inevitable given his amazing abilities and potential.
The 24-year-old had swiftly established himself as one of the Whites’ best performers before his injury, already becoming a vocal point and leader to a side possessing plenty of young players.
Potentially losing his services this summer will come as a crushing blow to Leeds United, given the huge impact he’s brought to the club already.
Before his injury, he recorded the most tackles out of all Premier League players so far this season (89), the second-most tackles won (46) the most dribbles tackled (50) and also recorded the sixth-most blocks of any Premier League player according to FBRef, numbers which evidently rank him as the best-performing midfielder and player at Elland Road.
Adams’ aggression, tenacity and incredible endeavour are huge tactical assets at Elland Road and it’s easy to see why Arsenal and Newcastle United are interested, but if the Whites want to keep their most prized assets this summer, then Premier League safety must be high on their agenda in the coming weeks.
That is paramount.
