Manchester United are considering a bid for Bournemouth ace Tyler Adams, talkSPORT understands.
Having recruited Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans for £50million and £35m from Chelsea and Aston Villa respectively, United remain in the market for one more central midfielder.

While talks Bournemouth would be willing to accept as little as £35m for Adams have been dismissed by senior club sources, the USA international is seen as a cheaper alternative to many of the other names on United’s shortlist.
The Red Devils have expressed interest in Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni, but that is proving too expensive.
Other potential options include France star Manu Kone and Tchouameni’s Los Blancos teammate Eduardo Camavinga.
Closer to home, Michael Carrick’s men have also shortlisted Fulham’s Sander Berge as well as Adams, who shone for the host nation at the World Cup.

Hit the road Jack
Jack Grealish has interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
The 30-year-old is back at Manchester City after Everton opted not to take up the £50m buy option in his loan deal.
While the Toffees would entertain another temporary move for the England international, City would prefer something more permanent given he is into the last year of his big-money contract.
One option for Grealish is Al Hilal, who are actively looking for a new left winger and are also interested in Bayern Munich’s Luis Diaz and Everton's Iliman N’Diaye.
While the £100m man’s preference is likely to be to stay in the Premier League, Al Hilal can offer lucrative tax-free wages.
The club’s new technical director also appears to be targeting Premier League players having already signed Crysencio Summerville for £68m from West Ham.

Sticky Toffee Pudding
Everton are ready to rekindle their interest in Chelsea outcast Liam Delap.
Chelsea are looking to move on Delap just a year after moving to Stamford Bridge as they close in on the surprise capture of Brighton veteran Danny Welbeck.
Everton boss David Moyes held face-to-face talks with Delap last summer before the England under-21 international made the switch to Chelsea.
Delap scored just one Premier League goal in 28 appearances last season, but his stock remains high.
Moyes would still be keen on the 23-year-old as he looks to bolster Everton’s goal-shy front-line.
Fulham could also move to keep Delap in west London, although sources have told talkSPORT that new boss Alvaro Arbeloa is currently prioritising players he knows from LaLiga.

As Luc would have it
Brighton are the latest club to cast their eye over Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall.
Bergvall is keen to leave north London in order to get more regular game-time.
But Spurs have so far resisted the overtures of Nottingham Forest, who have had at least one offer of £38m rejected.
Newcastle also failed with a £46million bid to sign the 20-year-old earlier this month.
While Brighton have not yet made any formal contact with Spurs, Swedish international Bergvall has caught the eye of their data-led recruitment team.

Relations between the two clubs are good, having already done business this summer, with Jan Paul van Hecke swapping the Sussex coast for Spurs in a £52m deal.
Teenage Croatian defender Luka Vuskovic then moved in the opposite direction for an initial £46m, plus £4m in potential add-ons.
