Tyler Adams has earned the United States national team’s male player of the year award. Former American coach Gregg Berhalter named the Leeds United man as captain ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.
That move paid dividends, with Adams putting in several stellar displays before USA crashed out in the last 16. The combative midfielder earned plaudits for his performances against England in the group stage.
The Three Lions were held to a 0-0 draw by Adams and Co, despite entering the game as overwhelming favourites. Leeds have also been the beneficiary of the 23-year-old’s ability since his summer switch from RB Leipzig.
