Tyler Adams – USMNT

Tyler Adams is a product of the New Jersey Red Bulls, connecting him to the parent club’s holdings in Europe. That would eventually work in Adams’s favor, with the standout MLS midfielder moving to RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga during the 2019 January window. It was no surprise, with Adams showing he is an elite player for his club and taking advantage of his USMNT opportunities. Adams won the DFB Pokal with Leipzig in 2021-22. He moved to Leeds United in the Premier League for the 2022-23 season.
