Tyler Adams bid to arrive in days as Chelsea transfer set for Leeds United
Chelsea are set to make their bid for Leeds United star Tyler Adams in the coming days, according to Mike McGrath.
The Telegraph journalist shared a new update via his Twitter account, with the article reporting Adams is poised to leave the Yorkshire club following their relegation to the Championship last season, as he is one of several players with a release clause.
Chelsea’s move for Adams comes with a need to bolster their midfield options, with a reported £20million release clause making the deal an appealing one, as the Blues have been frustrated in their efforts to sign Brighton’s Moises Caicedo so far.
Leeds need Adams this season
Not only is Adams one of the best players in this Leeds squad, but his role as a leader on and off the pitch will also be crucial in their Championship campaign as they look to fight for instant promotion back to the Premier League.
On the pitch too, Adams will be a crucial part of the Leeds starting side throughout the season, with the element of control he provides alongside the grit and determination which is often a deciding factor in the difficult games Leeds will face in this campaign.
A move to Chelsea would be hard to resist for Adams. Ultimately, when a club the size of Chelsea come knocking, players very rarely say no – particularly when offered a route out of the Championship.

The report suggests that Chelsea’s move for Adams is independent of their deal for Caicedo, so the West London club could end up with both midfielders in their squad by the time the Premier League kicks off on 12 August.
The club, the fans and his fellow players will all hope to see Adams stay at Elland Road this season, as he will play a crucial part in their goals, but if he leaves they will have to cope without – likely with a move in the transfer market.
