However, after several months of rumors and several clubs being involved, Adams’ future looks like it has been resolved. According to a report from ESPN FC, Adams has agreed to join Premier League club Leeds United from RB Leipzig.
The deal is reportedly going to cost Leeds United around ?23 million with add-ons.
Tyler Adams moves to Leeds United
The move is almost done and Adams is flying to the UK to finish his medical. Leeds United’s new manager Jesse Marsch reportedly had a big hand to play in the transfer as he had worked with Adams before.
The American coach was also instrumental in the signing of Brenden Aaronson as Leeds United acquired another USMNT star. It seems like this won’t be the end of the transfer window for the Premier League club as they are also linked with a move with Feyenoord star, Luis Sinisterra.

It’ll be interesting to see how Adams’ move to the Premier League works out in the end, and whether he can handle the competition in England.
