Leeds United: Tyler Adams agrees personal terms to quit Elland Road permanently
Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams has agreed personal terms with Bournemouth ahead of undergoing a medical, according to Graeme Bailey.
The 90min transfer reporter provided an update on Adams’ situation on his personal Twitter page on Friday [18 August], with a deal now close.
Bailey posted: “Sources confirm that Leeds midfielder Tyler Adams due at Bournemouth for medical – personal terms agreed.”
Second time lucky?
Adams has not played for Leeds since early March due to a thigh injury, but it has long been clear his future lies away from Elland Road.
The United States captain had been close to joining Chelsea earlier this month, only for the Blues to instead focus on signing Moises Caicedo.
Having already undergone a medical with the Blues at that point [The Secret Scout], Adams will hope it is second time lucky with Bournemouth.
With personal terms having already been agreed and any issues with a medical unlikely, Adams’ Leeds exit is now set to finally be confirmed.
Daniel Farke would no doubt have preferred the American to stay, but that was never likely – even after the Chelsea move collapsed.
Leeds will raise another £20million through the sale and Farke will now be eager to reinvest that back into the squad before the window closes.
With Luis Sinisterra, Willy Gnonto and Helder Costa also possibly on their way out, Leeds’ squad could take a further battering in the coming days.
In other Leeds United news, the Whites reportedly remain as bullish as ever regarding their transfer stance on Gnonto.
