AFC Bournemouth has secured the signing of United States national team captain Tyler Adams from Leeds United. The dynamic midfielder's transfer was confirmed by the club, marking their seventh acquisition during this summer's transfer window.
Adams, who has captained the United States national team, will don the No. 18 shirt for Bournemouth. The five-year contract he agreed upon solidifies his move, which has been met with enthusiasm from both the club and fans.
According to chief executive Neill Blake, Adams has been on the club's radar for a considerable time. Blake expressed, "He is a player we’ve admired for a long time. It’s been widely documented how much his talents have been recognized in this transfer window by other clubs, so to have him sign for AFC Bournemouth shows the ambition we have as a club."
The midfielder's decision to join Bournemouth comes after his notable stint at Leeds United, where he made 24 Premier League appearances last season after transferring from RB Leipzig. Renowned for his versatility, Adams topped the charts among Leeds players in terms of tackles, registering an impressive 87. Additionally, he contributed with 24 chances created, 35 interceptions, and an accurate pass rate of over 82 percent.
Prior to his time at Leeds, Adams spent three successful seasons in Germany with RB Leipzig. During his tenure, he played a key role in the team's journey to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals and their victory in the DFB-Pokal.
Adams began his professional journey with the New York Red Bulls before making his mark on the international stage. In 2022, he was honored as the US Soccer Player of the Year, showcasing his leadership and impact in the world of soccer.
Tyler Adams is now set to make his debut for AFC Bournemouth in a highly anticipated match against Tottenham Hotspur at home on Saturday, August 26th. Fans and the football community alike await his contribution to the team's ambitions for the upcoming season.
