“Yes, it does make total sense for Chelsea to sign him, he’s a warrior” – Frank Leboeuf urges Chelsea to sign 24-year-old midfielder
Ex-Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has urged his former team to snap up Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams ahead of the next campaign.
The Blues are in the process of reshaping their midfield this summer with the likes of N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek already off their books. They are hoping to add at most two more midfielders to their ranks ahead of the 2023-24 season.

According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea are keeping an eye on Adams’ situation at the recently relegated club. They are set to face competition from Aston Villa, Brighton, West Ham United, and Nottingham Forest for the 24-year-old, who is said to have a £25 million release clause.During an interaction on ESPN FC, Leboeuf was asked whether Adams would be a fine signing for Mauricio Pochettino’s outfit. He replied:
“Yes, it does make total sense as Chelsea need to fill up the middle of the park. Right now, you have Fernandez, Gallagher and we are still waiting on Caicedo, unsure whether he is going to sign or not.”
Lauding the former RB Leipzig holding midfielder, Leboeuf continued:
“Adams is starting to have a very good experience. He is the captain of the United States. He has the character that I love. He’s a warrior and Pochettino needs that kind of player in the middle of the park.”
Stating that the American would fit in well at the Blues, Leboeuf added:
“Yes, he’s not the player who can slot in at Chelsea, a big club, as he comes from Leeds. But I like these kind of players. I love his temper. His character. He’s one who is going to suit very well to any system.”
