Boss keen on £9m-rated Blackpool midfielder

Liverpool are rumoured to be lining up a January move for Blackpool star Charlie Adam.

Roy Hodgson has reportedly been scouting the former Rangers man this season and after the 24 year old put in a great performance to help his side to a famous win at Anfield the chances of a bid from the Merseyside club have significantly increased.

The attacking midfielder has also apparently fallen out with his Bloomfield Road club over unpaid bonuses which could give the talented Scot the excuse he needs to leave the club he helped to a surprise promotion to the Premier League last season.

Charlie Adam clearly realises that he has become the focal point for Ian Holloway's side but also knows that the chance of a move to high profile club such as Liverpool does not come around very often and his unhappiness with the club's attitude towards a £20k owed payment could spark his desire to leave the club.

Roy Hodgson has been looking for ways to add creativity to his brittle side and could well feel that the in form Dundee born midfielder could be just the man for the job. Adam netted 17 goals last season and helped create just as many and his vision and flair appear to have led to his being placed on the under fire Liverpool boss's transfer wish-list.
