Steve Cooper really liked 24-year-old Leeds player this summer but had one big concern about him

Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper really liked Leeds United midfield🌸er Tyler Adams but had concerns over signing him this summer.

from The Athletic has shared more det꧋ails about the American’s turbulent summer.

With players fleeing Elland Road as quickly as they could after their relegation from the Premier League, there was hope that Tyler Adams might remain.

The 24-year-old midfielder was one of the few ꦉpositives to come out of last🐷 season after being signed for around from RB Leipzig.

He was the archetypal Jesse Marsch s🎐igning but injury ruled him out of the ꦓend of the campaign.

Adams could only watch on from the sidelines as Leeds sunk into the bottom tౠhree and coach after coach co꧟uldn’t reverse their fortunes.

Plenty of teams were keen to prise Adams from Leeds, including Nottingham Forest, with Steve Cooper being a big fan.

However, after a move to Chelsea broke down, Adams eventually end♈ed up on the south coast with Bournemouth.

A move to the City Ground could have been on the cards had Cooper not had🍌 one issue with the USA intern💫ational captain.

Cooper a big fan of Adams at Leeds

from The Athletic suggests that Adams’s in🅰jury status meant🌌 Cooper had concerns about signing him this summer.

Adams is currently suffering from a hamstri🌞ng i๊njury that has ruled him out for nearly six months now.

It’s the first major injury of his ca🃏reer, although he’s had adductor problems in the past.

Adams is undoubtedly a Premier League quality player so stไaying at Leeds would have been a huge boost 𓆉for Daniel Farke.

However, the release clause in his con𓄧tract meant that it was always very unlikely he would spend another season at Elland Road.

Steve Cooper📖 turned to Ibrahim Sangare on deadline day instead of signing Cooper from✤ Leeds.

The Ivorian international has the potential to be one of the best midfielder💧s in the league and is an incredibly exciting signing.

Bournemouth are still waiting to see Adams in action, but💞 there’s no reason to rush him into action right n🥂ow.

Getting him back to fuꦫll fitness has to be the focus now before he makes hi♑s debut for the Cherries.
