Premier League clubs issued transfer warning after Chelsea deal collapses
An extraordinarily turbulent week in the transfer window has left Leeds United and USMNT star Tyler Adams out of the cold with a botched move to Chelsea, but other Premier League clubs are circling

Leeds United and USA star Tyler Adams has suffered the bitter disappointment that a dream move to Chelsea crashed after the Blues’ successful double strike for Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, but there is light at the end of the tunnel for the 24 year old .

The US men’s national team captain had traveled to London on Friday for a medical after the Stamford Bridge club agreed a £20m release clause. Brighton & Hove Albion star Caicedo and Southampton talent Lavia.

Chelsea’s spending spree under US owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital will continue with fees in the region of £110m and £55m to be paid for Caicedo and Lavia respectively, but Adams – who has a hamstring injury and is ruled out at least until mid-September – was disappointed.

However, according to The Athletic, Adams’ frustration could be short-lived as other Premier League clubs were made aware of the player’s availability after his move to Chelsea fell through.

No suitor has been named, but midfielder Adams could fit the profile Manchester United are aiming for, with Fiorentina’s Moroccan international Sofyan Amrabat on their radar following the sale of Fred to Fenerbahce.

Liverpool will also certainly be in the market for midfield reinforcements in the final weeks of the period as the Reds’ pursuit of Caicedo and Lavia is on the brink of failure, adding to the disappointment at the unexpected defeat of supporters Jordan Henderson and Fabinho for the charm . of Saudi Arabia’s wealth.

Adams made 24 appearances for Leeds last season as the club exited the Premier League, but he is likely to remain in the top flight due to the release clause coming into effect following the club’s relegation.

The 36-capped US international captained his country at last year’s World Cup in Qatar and was followed by Aston Villa, Brighton, Nottingham Forest and West Ham United for his defensive strengths in the center of the pitch.

Adams isn’t the only Leeds star to head to the Elland Road exit this summer, with Italy winger Wilfried Gnonto sitting out Saturday’s defeat at Birmingham City amid interest from Everton.

Gnonto played in the season-opening 2-2 draw with Cardiff City, but missed out on the midweek Carabao Cup win against Shrewsbury Town after being told he would not be sold this summer. He also made himself unavailable for the last defeat at St Andrews, for which Leeds issued a statement on the “internal disciplinary issue”.

He said: “Despite training for the past two days, Willy has informed Daniel Farke that he is still unable to play this weekend and has not traveled to Birmingham for tomorrow’s game.”
