Tyler Adams

When Kalvin Phillips left Leeds United (don’t worry, we’ll get to him) to join Manchester City, he left a gaping hole at the heart of the Whites’ midfield. Tyler Adams was the man brought in to fill the gaps – so far, he’s done an admirable job.

Despite this, Leeds are having a tough season in the Premier League, with relegation looking like a real possibility. If they do get relegated, the Hammers could swoop in and snap up the Yorkshire club’s star boy.

Adams is a complete defensive midfielder. Not only does he possess a commendable defensive acumen, he also has an impressive range of passing – just like Rice.
