That is the belief of Paul Robinson, the long-time Leeds United and England goalkeeper who told OLBG: “A lot of Champions League clubs will be looking at Tyler Adams.
"From a Leeds point of view, I've watched him since he joined.
"Adams is very competitive, he does not care who he plays against and puts in the same effort of performance week-in and week-out.
