Tyler Adams has declared he aims to become a Leeds United favourite in his own right. Since arriving from Red Bull Leipzig last summer, the American has been one of the standout performers at Elland Road.
English football fans received a first-hand account of Adams’ quality at the World Cup, when he thwarted Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham and Mason Mount to earn the United States a 0-0 draw. It was his consistent displays and leadership qualities at Leeds which earned him the captain’s armband for his country ahead of the tournament in November.
Former Whites boss Jesse Marsch briefly managed the 24-year-old at Leipzig before signing him for Leeds. Left with a midfield void after losing Kalvin Phillips to Manchester City, Marsch relied on his compatriot to plug the gap.
