Leeds United’s Tyler Adams admits the concession of too many chances proved the difference in Saturday’s World Cup exit for the USA but looked ahead to an exciting future building up to 2026.

Whites midfielder Adams captained the States to progression out of the competition’s group stages, sealing a clash against Louis van Gaal’s Netherlands side in the last 16. Fellow Leeds star Brenden Aaronson also featured in all three group stage games as a second-half substitute but the US reached the end of the road in Saturday’s clash against the Netherlands who sealed a 3-1 victory through strikes from Memphis Depay, Daley Blind and Denzel Dumfries. Adams admitted his side ultimately gave van Gaal’s quality side too many opportunities to score but declared his excitement for the future and the 2026 World Cup which his nation will co-host alongside Canada and Mexico.

"A game like that, it comes down to the margins obviously,” said Adams to post match media. "When you play a team with so much quality like that, and you give them three, four chances, they're going to put three or three or four away. For us, I'm super proud of the boys' performance, we can show that we can hang with some of the best teams in the world, some of the best players in the world and that's a lot of progress for US Soccer. We're moving in the right direction for sure. But we need to keep pushing because we're not there yet. But we're close.

"It's exciting. Obviously, the more time together, the more growth we should have. But that being said, we still need to develop individually into more mature players for moments like this where we can come out on top. It comes down to the moments and you can see a little bit more experienced team got the better of us. But our youth, our potential that we have, we need to maximize that moving forward in the time we have between now and obviously 2026."

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
