    Leeds United face a battle to hang on to star midfielder Tyler Adams this summer, with West Ham reportedly interested in securing his signature during the transfer window. </p>

    The Hammers have so far rejected bids for England midfielder Declan Rice from both Arsenal and Manchester City - but it's only a matter of time until he departs the East London club, who are holding out for a &pound;100m fee. </p>

    Irons boss David Moyes has identified 24-year-old Adams as a player who could possibly fill the void left in West Ham's midfield when Rice does depart. </p>

    The USA international made 24 Premier League appearances for Leeds last season and was a fans' favourite until he suffered an injury and had to have surgery on a hamstring problem in March. </p>

    Adams' tough-tackling approach was sorely missed by Leeds in their relegation run-in - but he seems likely to be playing in England's top tier next season, with Brighton, Everton and Aston Villa also reportedly monitoring his situation. </p>

    Adams arrived at Elland Road in a £20million deal from RB Leipzig in July 2022 - and Leeds would be looking to land a fee in that bracket, with reports also suggesting he does have a relegation clause in his contract. </p>

    Leeds are unlikely to sanction any player sales while they wait to announce the appointment of their new manager, with&nbsp;former Norwich boss Daniel Farke still leading the race for the role. </p>
