Leeds United and Swansea City are keeping tabs on Falkirk defender Keelen Adams along with Rangers, according to a report by Rangers News.
Leeds United and Swansea City are both said to be tracking the right-back ahead of the upcoming January transfer window. He is under contract with his current club until May 2026 but they could face a battle to keep hold of him in the future.
Adams, 23, was snapped up by Falkirk in February on a two-and-a-half year deal and has since become a key player for the Scottish Championship side. He has made 23 appearances in all competitions so far this season, 16 of which have come in the league, and he has chipped in with three goals and five assists.
In this latest update regarding his situation, Rangers News claim Rangers are interested in luring him to Ibrox. However, the report suggests the Whites and the Swans are also ‘monitoring’ his progress.
Leeds United and Swansea City eye defender
Adams started out at Glasgow University before linking up with Cumbernauld Colts.
Falkirk swooped in for him earlier this year before loaning him back to the Lowland League for the second-half of last term.
He officially joined up with the second tier outfit in the summer and has since established himself as a regular for them in defence.
After signing him, Falkirk boss John McGlynn said: “Keelan is one that we have been tracking for some time. We were tipped off to him earlier in the season, and we’ve been keeping an eye on him along the way. I saw him play myself against The Shire on Tuesday night, and I thought he did really well.
“I would like to give my thanks to David Proctor and Darren Dods at Cumbernauld Colts for allowing him to come in for a few weeks training in January. We were very impressed with what we saw. He’s a 22-years-old right back that is six feet tall and very athletic. He’s been a bit of a late developer, but he’s an ambitious player and he ticks all the boxes for what we’re looking for.”
What now?
As McGlynn, Adams has been somewhat of a late developer but appears en route to bigger things down the line.
It remains to be seen whether either Leeds United or Swansea City will lodge an offer at some point, amid competition from Rangers.
The trio could both see him as someone to bolster their defensive department in the future.
