Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams has claimed he has not come to the club to become the next Kalvin Phillips. Adams’ arrival at Leeds was confirmed just days after Phillips’ completed his switch to the Premier League champions.
Given the close proximity of the two deals, many have viewed Adams as a direct replacement for Phillips with both particularly strong in the defensive aspect of the game. However, Leeds have looked to fill the void left by Phillips with multiple players.
Marc Roca has also joined from Bayern Munich and his ability to dictate play from deep is also something that had to be replaced with Phillips’ exit. Leeds’ two new midfield signings have already shown signs of developing a strong partnership in pre-season so far, suggesting that the Whites will be able to cope with the loss of one of their star men.
