Talks underway: Leeds and Orta reportedly move to land 4th summer signing; he's 'one of a kind'

Leeds United have reportedly ‘started talks’ to sign RB Leipzig midfielder Tyler Adams.

The Whites have made three summer signings so far, and it looks as if the American could potentially become the fourth off-season arrival at Elland Road.

Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg recently revealed that Adams, who was previously described as a ‘massive’ talent by Jesse Marsch, is on Leeds’ shortlist.

Leipzig are open to selling the 23-year-old, who was dubbed ‘one of a kind’ by former USA star Tab Ramos, and it looks as if the Whites have made their move for the America international.

According to The Transfer Exchange Show, Leeds have ‘started talks’ to sign Adams.

They claim that he is ‘seen as a replacement for Kalvin Phillips who has already stated his wish to join Manchester City’.

Leeds are rightly exploring replacements for Phillips, and it looks as if it could be between Adams and Red Bull Salzburg’s Mo Camara, who has also been linked with a move to Elland Road.

Both Adams and Camara have Champions League experience and have both worked under Marsch, so it will be interesting to see who emerges as the Whites’ main target over the coming weeks.

They have seemingly made a first move for Adams by opening talks with Leipzig, so they could progress if Manchester City make a breakthrough in their pursuit of Phillips.
