United States international Tyler Adams is set to join Chelsea from Leeds United.

Adams has reached personal terms with Chelsea and will soon undergo his medical with the Blues.

This was disclosed by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano in a tweet via his Twitter handle on Thursday, August 10, 2023.

Tyler Adams to Chelsea, here we go! The relegation clause worth £20m has been activated today.

“Agreement reached with player’s agent in London over personal terms and now medical tests to follow — after 10 days negotiations, deal now done.”

Tyler was among the players Chelsea identified as alternatives to Brighton’s Moises Caicedo.

Chelsea want to sign two midfielders before the transfer window closes on September 1 and made a £48m bid for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia on Wednesday.

The Blues are keen to bolster their midfield following the departures of Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, and N’Golo Kante during the transfer window.

The Blues have also had a number of bids rejected for Brighton’s Moises Caicedo, the most recent of which was worth £80m but Brighton value Caicedo at £100m.

However, the player is willing to join Chelsea, and manager Roberto De Zerbi has admitted that he is uncertain if Caicedo will remain at Brighton at the end of the window.
