“There is uncertainty but Leeds are fighting to keep him” – Journalist Dean Jones says Daniel Farke and 49ers are now desperately fighting to keep Leeds star at Elland Road this summer, player open to stay
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke is desperate to keep a £55,000-per-week star on board ahead of the new season getting underway
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has received a major boost in his bid to keep Elland Road favourite Tyler Adams out of the clutches of Premier League clubs, journalist Ben Jacobs has told GIVEMESPORT.
The United States international only made the £20million switch from RB Leipzig last year but, following the Whites’ relegation to the Championship, there are a number of sides hoping to acquire his services.
According to MailOnline, West Ham United have set their sights on offering Adams an immediate route back into the top flight.
But West Ham are not Adams’ only admirers as Aston Villa also hold an interest, with Unai Emery aiming to strengthen his squad ahead of Europa Conference League action in the upcoming campaign.
Everton and Nottingham Forest have also enquired over the 24-year-old’s availability as well, while Brighton & Hove Albion have been weighing up whether to up the ante by launching a bid.
But it is understood that 49ers Enterprises have identified the American, who made 26 appearances last season, as a key part of their plans at Elland Road. Although the same was said about Max Wober before the player asked for permission to negotiate a loan transfer to Borussia Monchengladbach.
Jacobs has handed Leeds supporters a boost as he understands Adams is not pushing to leave the Yorkshire giants, with him being willing to take on the challenge of clinching an immediate return to the Premier League.
The respected journalist believes Farke is desperate to keep the former New York Red Bulls man on board after taking charge.
Jacobs told GIVEMESPORT: “Compared to others, Tyler Adams was definitely more open to the Leeds project and the challenge of trying to get them back into the Premier League first time.
“But there is, of course, interest and uncertainty over his future. I think that Leeds are fighting to retain him. He is recovering from injury as well, which is probably why it’s been a bit more of a delayed clarity over his future.
