Tyler Adams, the 23-year-old American soccer player has recently joined Bournemouth and looks eager on using his talents to help his club achieve great things. Adams was an important player for RB Leipzig and Leeds United but the player had to bid farewell to the premier league after his former club Leeds United was relegated to the championship.
He is a defensive midfielder with an impressive record that caught the eyes of many clubs but the player has made the decision to go to Bournemouth.
Who is USMNT star, Tyler Adams?
Tyler is a defensive midfielder for the United States Men’s National Soccer Team or USMNT. He made his debut for the team in 2017. Before becoming a part of the senior team he was in the USA’s under-17 football team.
Tyler played in the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 where he helped his team lift the championship trophy. He was also a part of the team during the U-20 World Cup. Finally, on November 14, 2017, Tyler made his debut for the senior US football team.
Tyler suffered a hamstring injury last season, he had to undergo surgery but the American was expected to make a return by now. Sadly he has not fully recovered yet and may need more time to get back in the game. This did not stop Bournemouth from making an offer and stealing Tyler away from Leeds United.
Details on Tyler Adams’ $29M contract with Bournemouth
Tyler Adams has joined Bournemouth from Leeds United for 29 million dollars on a five-year contract. Options were available to him as other big names in Europe such as Chelsea were interested in signing him but he had other plans. This is probably a positive turn for Tyler’s career as his former club is no longer competing in the Premier League after being relegated to the Championship.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed Tyler’s move on his Twitter handle. Before Leeds United, he was an important player for the German club, RB Leipzig. He scored an important goal against Atletico Madrid in the 2020 Champions League quarter-finals carrying his club to the semis of the tournament.
Adam signed for Leeds United in July 2022 for a five-year contract but Bournemouth successfully signed him by triggering his release clause. Though the player is currently unable to play he should be able to make an appearance in the not-so-distant future.
The club appears more than happy with this signing as of now. “We’re thrilled to have brought Tyler to the club and he is a player we’ve admired for a long time,” said chief executive Neill Blake.
