Arsenal appear to already have an advantage over Newcastle in the race to sign Tyler Adams. The 24-year-old midfielder faces an increasingly uncertain future at Leeds United with the Yorkshire-based club at risk of relegation from the top flight.
Only a slight difference is keeping Leeds out of the drop zone; Sam Allardyce's side sit fourth from bottom in the Premier League on 30 points and they have a number of difficult fixtures to still be played. However, despite the Whites' misfortunes, Arsenal reportedly still hold an interest in Adams.
The United States international was once heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, but he eventually penned a deal at Elland Road instead. With Mikel Arteta eager to further bolster his midfield – and possibly right-back options – MLS Transfers have reported that Arsenal and Newcastle are monitoring Adams' situation.
