Reasons Tyler Adams has become Chelsea’s no.1 transfer midfield alternative for Caicedo.
Chelsea are prepared to activate the release clause of USMNT international player who plays for Leeds as the technical and scouting board have identified the youngster as an alternative if they fail to strike a deal with Brighton FC in the signing of Moises Caicedo which has witnessed four Chelsea bids being rejected by Brighton. Tyler Adams have a release clause of just £20M and Chelsea have already made contact with the player’s camp speculating the move to Stamford Bridge as the player is eager to get back to top championship football after Leeds were relegated.
There are several aspects which have made Chelsea to track the player and also try to sign him. One of the aspects for Chelsea’s move to him is his age and he is cheaper. Being 22 years of age has given a good prospect which is suiting Chelsea project with Pochettino as he wants players who will offer long term services. The other reason is that Tyler Adams has an elite ability kill dangerous counter attacks as according to data he has been rated highly as among the top players who have killed dangerous attacks from opponents due to his intelligence and fast pace ability. The last reason is that he is strictly a defensive specialist and acts as a back four shield this is because the player limits his moves to opponents box and sticks to midfield as a destroyer and covering up defenders.
How do you rate those qualities? Should Chelsea proceed to sign him ?
