Mauricio Pochettino is currently lacking a powerful defensive midfielder, and Adams fits the bill perfectly with incredible statistics for breaking up play and delivering the ball across the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main concerns that fans might have is around Adams&#8217; fitness, with the international captain missing a significant portion of last season. In a recent press conference Daniel Farke noted that he is only just returning from training now, and so may miss a few games for Todd Boehly&#8217;s side.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch: Chelsea&#8217;s Strategy for Success<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Poch&#039;s Secret Strategy for Chelsea Success\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d1ol0guPjyE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>How the Deal with Leeds United Got Done?<\/h3>\n<p>Forging an agreement with Leeds United was a pretty easy task for Chelsea&#8217;s negotiating team, as there was no need to negotiate at all. As part of his contract with the Yorkshire club, Adams had a release clause that activated in the event that the club were relegated. In spite of the Peacocks securing a narrow profit of \u00a32 million on the fee paid last season, losing the midfielder for the promotion push could be a big concern.<\/p>\n<p>As a young player, the USMNT international is likely to sign a relatively long contract with the club. These have become a trademark of Todd Boehly&#8217;s reign, with the club looking to retain players on longer contracts both for squad planning purposes and to increase the amount of money amortised for FFP purposes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/09\/chelsea-talks-to-sign-leeds-united-midfielder-tyler-adams\/\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea Working to Sign Incredible Star<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Image Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Chelsea_Football_Club,_Stamford_Bridge_(Ank_kumar)_22.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ank Kumar<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Category:CC-BY-SA-4.0\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Dharmesh Sheth at Sky Sports, Tyler Adams is set to have a Chelsea medical &#8220;in the next 24 hours&#8221;.
