United States Men’s National Team Captain Tyler Adams is closing in on a return to Premier League soccer. Sources confirmed on Friday that Bournemouth have activated the release clause in Adams’ contract at Leeds United which would see the club secure Adams’ signing for a fee in the region of £20 million ($25.4m).
Leeds United were relegated from the Premier League last season, making a move to the Cherries more appealing for a player of Adams’ stature. In addition to playing at the center of Leeds’ midfield last season, Adams led the United States to the World Cup round of 16 last year.
While closing in on a transfer to Chelsea last week, negotiations broke down, prompting several other clubs to enter the race for the player’s signature. Still, it was Bournemouth who emerged victorious, with Adams set to undergo a medical at the club on Friday. Personal terms have already been agreed.
