USA LEGEND Alexi Lalas produced a stunningly bizarre reaction after being told that compatriot Tyler Adams was closing in on a move to Bournemouth instead of Chelsea.
The Blues had triggered the American midfielder's £20million release clause as they looked to strengthen their squad this week.
But they dropped their pursuit after signing Moises Caicedo for a Premier League record £115million.
And they have also agreed a £50m move for Southampton's Romeo Lavia, who like Caicedo rejected Liverpool for West London.
We then revealed that Adams, 24, was still on the verge of a return to the Premier League from the Championship as Bournemouth matched his release clause.

Now the Cherries are optimistic that a deal will get done with the player also keen on the move from Elland Road at this stage.
However, former USA defender Lalas seems rather unimpressed.
Fox Sports researcher David Mosse said on Lalas' State of the Union Podcast: “The latest on [Tyler Adams]... it looks like he might go to Bournemouth.
To which the 53-year-old retired star replied: “Ew...really?”
Moose responded: “Yeah... that doesn't do it for you?”

The blunt Lalas said: “Well I don't know, does that do anything for you?”
Lalas then began chuckling before adding: “Ah, it's a tad underwhelming but it's still the Premier League.
“It's a place where he'll start presumably so I don't think it's too bad.
“Yeah, I mean I'm glad he's playing in the Premier League and I think he should be playing in the Premier League but if this was Bournemouth or even Chelsea, the way Chelsea is right now, it's... meh.”
