Villa could move for Adams

The Athletic reports that Villa have Adams on their list of potential midfield optio♏ns ahead of the summer window.

Adams is expected to 🤪leave Le🌄eds just a year after making the switch from RB Leipzig. 

The 24-year-old was enjoying an impressive debut ca⛎mpaign at Elland Road before picking up a season-endin🔴g injury back in March.

His injury certa𓃲inly impacted Leeds’ chances of st𝓀aying up as he quickly became an integral part of their side.

The midfielder also enjoyed an exceptional World Cup with the USMNT last year, which led to Arsenal legend Ian Wright drawing comparisons between him and Chelse﷽a’s N’Golo K𒈔ante. 

Adams plays just like Kante

Wright waxe♛d lyri꧑cal about his performance against England in the group stages.

“Flowers for Tyler Adams because when he went to Leeds and you see him play a little bit you think he can handle it here,” Wr🌸ight told back in November. 

“I watched him in the first game against Wales and it was a fairly easy game for him. In that game yesterday [against England], I got Kante vibes in the way he🍨 was snuffing and intercepting, tackles. I got that kind of vibe.

“People are g﷽oing to say ‘you’re comparing him to Kante’, I’m not. I haven’t seen 💙somebody that good at what he’s doing for a long time in that position – since that Kante vibe.

“If there’s something over there, he’s over there snuffing it out. He’s like how Kante was. He’s like a magnet to the ball where the problem🍌s are going to come.

“He was fantastic. Again, I’ve not seen too much of [Weston]𒁃 McKennie as I’ve just seen little bits of him, he is something as well.

“🌳I believe that in Tyler Adams, Leeds have got a proper player.”

🍸Emery boasts some brilliant options in midfield, with the likes of John McGinn and Douglas Luiz both excelling und🅺er the Spaniard.

But Adams would be an exceptional addition to the Villa squad and w𓃲ould provide them with some much-needed depth at the base of midfield.

It remains unclear wheℱ😼ther or not Leeds will be forced to sell the talented midfielder this summer. He only arrived in Yorkshire last summer and new owners could well be in place in the coming weeks.
