After four seasons at Leipzig, and a DFB-Pokal winners' medal, Adams joined Premier League side Leeds United in July 2022 on a five-year contract for £20million.
He showed plenty of talent playing for the New York Red Bulls U-13, U-14 and Under-16 sides. The Red Bulls' II coaches saw enough to recommend the 16-year-old Adams to the first team and he made his debut in a friendly against Chelsea in 2015.
Adams provided the assist as Bradley Wright-Phillips scored a 78th minute equaliser against FC Cincinnati in the 2017 Open Cup semi-finals. New York Red Bulls came from behind to reach their first Open Cup final since 2003.
