USMNT captain may stay put at Leeds United as 49ers Enterprises see him as “key” to project

The USMNT's captain Tyler Adams could be set to stay at Leeds United despite interest from Premier League teams on the command of the club's new owners.

The 24-year-old midfield arrived at Elland Road to significant fanfare in the summer of 2022 and joined a contingent of US internationals at the Yorkshire outfit under coach Jesse Marsch. However, the season turned out to be one to forget, with a succession of managers unable to stave off relegation back to the EFL Championship.

Adams' compatriot Marsch was dismissed in February with club sitting outside the relegation zone but the decision of chairman Andrea Radrizzani to roll the dice and bring in Javi Gracia failed to yield an upturn in fortunes. The Spaniard was sacked after 12 games in the hot seat, with his successor Sam Allardyce failing to pick up a point in his four games in charge.
