Chelsea to move for Leeds' Adams
According to The Athletic, Chelsea are keen on the 24-year-old with the squad severely lacking in high quality midfield options.
Brighton's Moises Caicedo is Chelsea's key target but there is yet o be an agreement on the fee with the Seagulls, who are demanding at least £100m.
Adams is not seen as an alternative to Caicedo, but a player who can compete for first team minutes immediately.
