Chelsea
are closing on the signing of Tyler Adams after meeting the £20m release
clause in the Leeds midfielder's contract.
One source has told Sky Sports News the USA international will have a
medical in the next 24 hours ahead of a move to Stamford Bridge.
Adams signed for Leeds from RB Leipzig for a fee of around £20m last summer
but suffered relegation with the club in his first season.
Chelsea want to sign two midfielders before the transfer window closes on
September 1 and made a £48m bid for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia on
Wednesday.
The Blues have also had a number of bids rejected for Brighton's Moises
Caicedo, the most recent of which was worth £80m.
Brighton value Caicedo - who missed their final pre-season friendly against
Rayo Vallecano on Sunday amid speculation over his future - at £100m.
Caicedo wants to join Chelsea and Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi admits he
does not know if he will still be at the club come the end of the window.
