Arsenal monitoring RB Leipzig midfielder Tyler Adams

Arsenal wants Tyler Adams to take the important role in Arteta’s setup.

Arsenal are scouting RB Leipzig midfielder, Tyler Adams. According to the Athletic, Adams has caught the eye once again after displaying a number of impressive qualities that would suit him well in the middle of the pitch as opposed to down the flanks.

Arsenal is looking to boost their midfield and they want the American player to take the important role in Arteta’s setup if he is able to follow in the footsteps of Joshua Kimmich by successfully making the switch.

The 23-year-old has appeared on few occasions for the Bundesliga club this season. He has not looked out of place when tasked with keeping things tight as part of a midfield duo.

Tyler Adams recently spoke to The Athletic, “Growing up, when N’Golo Kante hit the scene, he was the player who changed the mould of how a No 6 should play the game.

“It was no longer only the style of Sergio Busquets. Everyone wanted to be like him and why wouldn’t they, but I’m more like Kante than I am Busquets.

“So I was happy because players like this were finally getting the praise they deserve for doing the hard work and being the engine of the team.

“Not everything that Kante does is beautiful but you look at the end of the game and see how many duels and tackles he’s won and how many transition moments he stopped.”
