Nottingham Forest asked USMNT boss Gregg Berhalter about Tyler Adams transfer with Leeds confident midfielder will stay put

With the Whites having suffered relegation out of the Premier League in 2022-23, United States international Adams – who captained his country at the World Cup finals in Qatar – was among those expected to depart Elland Road as a release clause in his contract was activated.

Forest are among those to have been credited with interest in the talented 24-year-old, with TEAMtalk claiming that the Reds sought out the opinion of Berhalter – who has returned to a prominent post in the States – when it comes to what Adams could offer in a big-money transfer.

No deal has been done there, though, while links to Chelsea are being taken with a pinch of salt as the Blues seek to land long-standing midfield target Moises Caicedo. Aston Villa have also been linked with Adams, but the American is said to have concerns regarding where he would fit into Unai Emery’s squad.

As a result, it is said that Leeds are growing in confidence when it comes to retaining Adams’ services. He is not pushing for a move away from Elland Road, with his focus locked on recovering from the hamstring problems that brought his debut campaign in England to a premature conclusion.
