EPL: Tyler Adams Roped In By Bournemouth From Leeds United For Over £20 Million

Bournemouth have roped in Tyler Adams from Leeds United for a fee reportedly more than £20m, as per BBC Sport.

The 24-year-old, whose contract with Bournemouth is for five years, came to Leeds from RB Leipzig on a five-year contract in 2022.


But Adams has opted to move on after Leeds were relegated from the EPL in the 2022-23 season.

"To have him sign for AFC Bournemouth shows the ambition we have as a club," said Cherries chief executive Neill Blake.

"We're thrilled to have brought Tyler to the club and he is a player we've admired for a long time. It's been widely documented how much his talents have been recognised in this transfer window by other clubs," he added.

"Tyler is an exciting player who possesses plenty of experience for someone that is just 24 years of age and we're looking forward to working with him as he's a player we know will be a great addition to our squad," Blake went on to say.


It was initially believed that Bournemouth had activated a £20m release clause in Adams'. But as per BBC Sport, the fee is more high and has no release clause.

The US international played 26 games for Leeds in the 2022-23 season.

But he was out of action after surgery due to a hamstring injury at the end of March.

"Not an easy goodbye," Adams tweeted.

"The club, my teammates and the fans have supported me since day one, and I wish I could've given more in the home stretch. Forever grateful for this past year," he wrote.


Adams was all set to go to Chelsea but talks were said to have broken down between the clubs.

Adams is manager Andoni Iraola's seventh summer signing and is part of a fresh midfield with teen Alex Scott. Scott came from Bristol City earlier in the month for a reported fee of £25m.

Bournemouth's other signings include Coast's Hamed Traore from Sassuolo and Justin Kluivert from Roma.
