Argentine confirms midfielder was wanted at Chelsea – makes big transfer claim

Former CHELSEA boss Mauricio Pochettino has opened up and claimed that he nearly brought Leeds Midfielder Tyler Adams to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2023.

It was reported during the summer window of 2023 that the club were very interested in the prospect of signing Tyler Adams from Leeds United at the time, and did make come contact with Leeds about a potential deal.

Adams has struggled with injury problems throughout his career, however when fit and firing he is certainly an asset. He has previously been described as ‘special’ by former boss Jesse Marsch and a player that Pochettino wanted at Stamford Bridge.

Pochettino, who is now in charge of the midfielder at an international level as United States boss, confirmed it was very much the intention of the club to sign him before injuries intervened.

He said to Goal: “I know very well him because I think it’s public that we wanted to sign him in Chelsea. When we arrived in Chelsea, I remember that in USA, in Chicago, we had a conversation.

“We knew and after, the club didn’t sign him because he was injured. That is why, in the end, we cannot but we already know and we know how important but we need to provide the good platform for him to get [to] his best.”

When Adams is fit, he is a solid enough player and could have been a very good squad member at Stamford Bridge, but he is not ever going to be a regular starter for the the club and we are glad that he was never signed, sorry mate
