Chelsea and Manchester United are both expected to strengthen their midfields before the transfer window closes.
The two Premier League giants have identified several targets as they look to improve their squads ahead of the new season.
Chelsea continue to reshape the team under Xabi Alonso, while Michael Carrick is searching for additional quality after guiding Manchester United back into the Champions League.
Both clubs have explored high-profile options in recent weeks. However, they are also assessing more affordable solutions capable of making an immediate impact in the Premier League.
One player who has attracted growing attention is currently representing the United States at the World Cup.
According to CaughtOffside, Chelsea and Manchester United are closely monitoring Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams.
The report states that Bournemouth are not actively looking to sell the 27-year-old, who remains under contract until 2028.
However, an offer worth around £30 million could encourage discussions between the clubs.
The report also notes that Liverpool have monitored the United States international in the past, although Chelsea and United are currently the clubs showing the strongest interest.
Neither club has made a formal move at this stage. However, with Adams continuing to impress, Bournemouth may be willing to listen to the right offer.
So, the situation could develop quickly in the coming weeks. For now, Chelsea and Manchester United remain in the background, but a battle for the USA midfielder could soon emerge.
