The U.S. contingent at Elland Road is growing
Tyler Adams underwent his medical on Tuesday morning, sources have told CBS Sports, as Leeds United close in on the signing of the U.S. international from RB Leipzig.
The two clubs have reached agreement on a deal worth up to £20 million and Adams had been given the green light to depart from Leipzig's preseason training camp before heading to Yorkshire, where he is finalizing the outstanding matters on his transfer before becoming a Leeds player. In doing so, he will join a burgeoning American contingent at Elland Road, which includes manager Jesse Marsch and summer signing Brenden Aaronson.
Adams will step into the gap in Marsch's side left by Kalvin Phillips, who joined Manchester City earlier this week in a £42 million deal. The pair have previously worked together at New York Red Bulls, where Marsch gave a 16-year-old Adams his debut, and briefly at RB Leipzig last season.
