USMNT icon Alexi Lalas has told his State Of The Union podcast that he would “love” to see Tyler Adams leave Leeds United and join Aston Villa this summer – with the USA skipper reportedly boasting a £30m release clause.

Adams, 24, remains on the recovery trail from injury after requiring hamstring surgery – which forced him to miss the last third of the Premier League campaign. Quite considerably coinciding with our dismal run in towards relegation.

Numerous reports have stated that the 49ers are hopeful to keep Adams at Elland Road. But given his form in the 26 games he did play for Leeds, and the form he showed for USA in Qatar at the World Cup, he is likely to depart.

The Mail say Brighton have joined Villa, Everton and Nottingham Forest in making enquiries for the ex-RB Leipzig man. A report from Bola Vip recently said that there is a £30m relegation release clause in Adams’ contract.

Would Villa be a good move for Adams? There is no doubt that Adams will be on the move this summer, given the amount of Premier League clubs interested. Villa have plenty of midfielders, already increasing that this summer.

Youri Tielemans has joined on a free from Leicester. They also boast Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn, Leander Dendoncker, Jacob Ramsey, Douglas Luiz and more. Marvelous Nakamba and Morgan Sanson are likely to leave.

So, Adams has a decision to make. Does he fancy himself to join Villa and break into their midfield? Or, is he better off waiting for another club. Brighton are set to sell Moises Caicedo to Chelsea – he could be the ideal replacement.
