Chelsea have finished negotiations with Adams’ team, Leeds, and an agreement has been reached. There is no problem with personal agreement, and medical tests will be conducted soon.
Adams had an option on his contract with a £20m release clause triggered in the event of Leeds’ relegation. Leeds were relegated to the Championship last season after a poor run of 19th in the English Premier League (EPL). As a result, Chelsea, who paid attention to Adams, quickly made him join the team.
Adams made his name known in earnest when he transferred from New York Red Bulls (USA) to RB Leipzig (Germany) in 2019.

Based on his tremendous amount of activity, he is dedicated defensively and has the ability to develop build-ups from the back.
In 2022, Adams joined Leeds and jumped into the EPL stage. He replaced Calvin Phillips (28), who left for Manchester City (England), and performed well in Leeds midfield, but the season ended prematurely due to an injury in March. He also led the US national team wearing the captain’s armband at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.메이저사이트
