Highly rated 19-year-old American international Tyler Adams, who plays for New York Red Bulls, is nearing a move to sister club RB Leipzig according to Bild and Metro New York.





A source has told Metro New York that the two Red Bull owned clubs are working on a deal that could be finalised within a couple of days. Adams could join the Bundesliga side after the MLS Cup Playoffs this fall, but it is also possible that he could complete his move already this summer.



According to Bild, Adams went to RB Leipzig for a trial four years ago, and the club have been keeping an eye on him ever since. Now, the Bundesliga side reportedly want to sign Adams who can play both at the defensive midfield, as a right-back and as a right midfielder.



However, Bild reports that RB Salzburg have also identified Adams as a possible reinforcement. Therefore, there is a possibility he could be signed by RB Leipzig and then sent to RB Salzburg on loan.



Despite being just 19 years old, Adams has already appeared 50 times for New York Red Bulls as well as three times for the American national team.
