Talks with Tyler Adams are at an advanced stage as Leeds United look to swiftly fill the hole left by Kalvin Phillips ahead of Sunday’s flight to Australia. The American has spent the summer on Victor Orta’s midfielder shortlist and with the way now cleared by Phillips, the wheels are in motion on a transfer.
The Whites hope to land the 23-year-old on a permanent transfer from RB Leipzig before Jesse Marsch takes the squad Down Under for more than two weeks. Phillips’s transfer to Manchester City was confirmed on Monday morning and within a few hours, the button was pushed on Adams.
While the move for Adams has moved quickly and may be completed towards the back end of the week, there is hope another target may even be confirmed before him. Luis Sinisterra came onto the radar in the Dutch press this morning with reports of an agreement with Feyenoord suggesting he too may be through the door this week.
