Tyler Adams believes that both he and Jesse Marsch were able to bring a ‘winning mentality’ to Red Bull Leipzig during their time at the club. The duo are set to reunite this week with a talks at an advanced stage to bring Adams to Leeds United.
Marsch has already worked alongside Adams twice before in his career, first at New York Red Bulls and then last season at Leipzig, all be it briefly after the 48-year-old was sacked in December. But they are now set to work together for a third time as Leeds close in on a deal that could be worth up to £20 million ahead of their pre-season tour of Australia.
Speaking to Grant Wahl back in August last year – with Marsch around a month-and-a-half into his tenure at Leipzig - Adams joked about how Europeans still follow the stereotype that Americans ‘don’t know football’. But the 23-year-old then moved quickly to disregard those claims, stating that American sportspeople are actually renowned for their ‘winning mentality’, referencing Tom Brady as someone sports fans cite around the world.
