- Pulisic departed Stamford Bridge for AC Milan
- United States skipper linked with Blues
- Chelsea eager to bolster their engine room
WHAT HAPPENED? The Blues have allowed one United States international to fly their nest this summer, with Pulisic taking on a new challenge at Serie A giants AC Milan. Todd Boehly may, however, ensure that there is an American on the books at Stamford Bridge for the 2023-24 campaign.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: According to The Times, Adams – who captained his country at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar – has emerged as a target for Premier League giants in west London. The 24-year-old midfielder is currently on the books at Leeds, but suffered relegation into the Championship with them last season – with an unfortunate injury bringing his debut campaign at Elland Road to a premature conclusion.
AND WHAT'S MORE: Chelsea are looking to make several additions to their engine room in the current transfer window, with Brighton star Moises Caicedo their top target. Maurico Pochettino also has Southampton youngster Romeo Lavia and Ajax star Edson Alvarez on his list of potential additions.

WHAT NEXT? Adams is recovering from the hamstring injury that forced him to undergo surgery in March, but he is closing in on a return to fitness and is said to have a relegation release clause in the contract he signed at Leeds when completing a £20 million ($26m) move from RB Leipzig 12 months ago.
