American midfielder Tyler Adams completed the move from RB Leipzig to Leeds United for around $24 million and confirmed the status as one of coach Jesse Marsch’s favourite personnel. This will be the third club where the two Americans have worked together!22.00: (1.22) England W (6.00) Austria W (12.0)The 23-year-old has signed a five-year contract at Elland Road, reuniting with Marsch after their previous stints at Leipzig and New York Red Bulls. The 30-times USA international made 75 Bundesliga appearances in four years at Leipzig but was no longer a significant part of the club’s plans and had been made available in this window.Speaking to ESPN earlier this year, Adams revealed his experience of working with Marsch, discussing the 48-year-old’s man-management style.”As an American, you have to earn respect wherever you go. I’m grateful for Jesse allowing me to become a professional at New York. He groomed me and gave me my first opportunity to play the professional game. He’s very heart-to-heart with you, upfront and honest with you, and I think he’ll do well at Leeds.”Find someone who loves you like Jesse Marsch loves Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams 😂❤️ pic.twitter.com/iieBqXSf2z— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) July 6, 2022 The midfielder has become Leeds’ fourth senior signing in this window, following Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen and Marc Roca.

As for a centre forward, Leeds have long-held hopes of attracting Brugge’s Charles De Ketelaere. It seems likely that the potential sale of Raphinha will ultimately determine the extent of the Whites’ spend on a new striker.
