Adams was on Newcastle’s ‘longer list’ of midfield transfer targets before they signed top target Sandro Tonali. But the 24-year-old is still on the club’s radar following Leeds’ relegation to the Championship and the potential for a cut-price deal or loan
His versatility to play on the right of midfield or defence is also something that appeals to The Magpies.
And the United States international has spoken very highly of the club and St James’ Park in particular having played there for Leeds in the 0-0 draw on New Year’s Eve last season.
When asked about his favourite place to play football, Adams told the New York Red Bulls Podcast: “Newcastle was bumping this year.
They’re doing things the right way and I think they have the recognition now of ‘our team is good and Champions League is in our sights.’
They came out and there was a full [flag] display. The fans were crazy – that was probably the loudest. It’s never ending [the crowd] you look up and it’s just black. The fans keep going and you’re staring into an abyss.”
Adams gave up Champions League football with Leipzig in order to move to the Premier League. But after suffering relegation to the Championship with Leeds, he could be on the move this summer.
