Leeds United captain Tyler Adams is on the radar of Newcastle United as the club looks to make the most of the summer budget ahead of next season which will see Eddie Howe and his squad having to fight on four fronts.
With Newcastle in the Champions League, the need to add depth to the squad whilst also wrestling with a budget restricted by financial fair play will see the club's transfer team look at players not necessarily playing for a top team. As reported in the Telegraph, Adams fits that bill and would come in for a significantly lesser fee than RB Leipzig Dominik Szoboszlai.
Leeds United, following relegation to the Championship, are in turmoil with owner Andrea Radrizzani facing backlash from fans after offering up Elland Road against a loan to help him purchase Italian club Sampdoria. A proposed takeover of Leeds from American group the 49ers is believed to be close but there is an expectation that several of the West Yorkshire side's star players will leave this summer.
