Leeds United transfer rumours with Tyler Adams boost and shock Weston McKennie interest

Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours for May 18.

Adams boost

Recent reports suggested Arsenal and Newcastle United are prepared to swoop for Tyler Adams this summer if Leeds United suffer relegation. However, CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs believes the Whites will be keen to hold ward off any potential suitors.

He told GiveMeSport: "I would expect any relegation for Leeds to impact [Weston] McKennie a little bit more than Adams because the latter is locked in at Leeds, and I think Adams would perhaps relish the Championship and thrive in the Championship. He's a leader, he's a battler and Leeds won't want to let him go.

"Obviously, the player perspective and offers will always be a factor in all of this, but I don't see Adams as being first one out the door or anything like that, quite the opposite. I think that Leeds would see him as highly valuable in the Championship."

McKennie claim

It is safe to say Weston McKennie has struggled to show his best form since making the temporary move to Elland Road. The USA international has made 18 appearances so far for the Whites, including starting both matches under Sam Allardyce.

McKennie is not expected to make the move permanent regardless of whether Leeds avoid the drop or not. However, the midfielder could be in line to remain in the Premier League, with Italian outlet Calciomercatoweb via Sport Witness reporting Brighton are interested in a transfer.

The Seagulls are expected to be in the market for at least one midfielder this summer, with Moises Caiceo and Alexis Mac Allister both tipped for moves away. The report suggests Brighton might be able to reach an agreement with Juventus in the region of £22 million.
