Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams was shocked by how much Victor Orta knew about him before joining the club. The Whites’ enforcer - now captain of the United States - arrived in the summer from RB Leipzig.
Tasked with filling the void left by Kalvin Phillips, Adams has slotted into life at Elland Road seamlessly. Doubts about whether the American could adapt to the Premier League have been quashed, with Leeds reaping the rewards of a £20million bargain.
However, friends become foes on Friday as England take on the US in Group B. Adams, alongside Leeds teammate Brenden Aaronson, aims to pull off a shock win over the Three Lions at the World Cup.
