Tyler Adams issues Leeds United message upon Bournemouth move with Whites admission and regret - YEP 20/8/23

Tyler Adams has quickly issued a Leeds United exit message upon his switch to Bournemouth with a Whites admission and particular regret.

By Lee Sobot

Adams joined Leeds from RB Leipzig last summer in a deal worth around £20m and the midfielder quickly impressed with his performances in the Whites midfield. Adams was then named USA captain for the 2022 Qatar World Cup but the midfielder saw the end of his Premier League season curtailed due to a hamstring injury which required surgery.

Adams could only look on as Leeds suffered relegation back to the Championship and the 24-year-old who had a relegation release clause has now joined Bournemouth on a five-year-deal for a reported £23m plus add-ons.

Speaking in an interview with the club’s official website, Adams reflected on last season’s Leeds ending in declaring his excitement about taking to the Premier League stage once again with the Cherries.

But the midfielder has also quickly taken to social media to pen a farewell Whites message in which he highlighted his regret at being unable to help Leeds in the “home stretch” of battling the drop.

Admitting to the difficulties of his Whites farewell, the midfielder wrote: "Not an easy goodbye. The club, my teammates and the fans have supported me since day one and I wish I could have given more in the home stretch. Forever grateful for this past year.”

Speaking to Bournemouth’s official website, Adams said about his move: "I'm very excited to say the least.

"Obviously the excitement of the Premier League last year was amazing. It was a dream come true to have an opportunity to represent a team and obviously how the season ended wasn't to my liking. And now having another opportunity to join an amazing club like Bournemouth, I'm very excited to get started."

Pressed on what attracted him to the Cherries, Adams reasoned: "A lot of things attracted me to Bournemouth. Obviously the manager himself, one of the up and coming young managers in the world.

"He was actually playing for NYCFC when I was playing at New York Red Bulls and coming through the system there so having a little bit of familiarity there. The amazing sporting director and CEO, so many conversations about how I will be used in this amazing project that they are building here was very exciting as well."

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...
