Adam: 'I'm only worrying about Blackpool'

Charlie Adam is still waiting to hold talks with Blackpool over his long-term future but admits it was 'a privilege' to be courted by some of England's biggest clubs in January.

The Blackpool captain was the subject of transfer window bids from Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham but his relegation-threatened club managed to hold on to him.

And Ian Holloway's side have been vindicated by their decision not to cash in, with Adam hitting five goals in five appearances since the window shut.

Premier League clubs are expected to go back for him in the summer, particularly if Blackpool are relegated this season, and Manchester United are the latest club to be linked with a move.

But when asked whether he has held talks about his future at the club, Adam said: "No, there has been nothing.

"I'm not concentrating on my future, I'm just worrying about the next eight games for my club. Trying to keep Blackpool in the league is the focus and has always been the focus.

"We'll see what happens afterwards but it's all out of my hands. [There was interest in me] because my club mates have helped me - they've done well as well.

"That's in the past and the future for me is the next eight games and trying to play as well as I can and hopefully keep the team in the league.

"It's a privilege to be linked with these types of clubs. But it's not just about me, it's about the club and my team-mates as well."

Adam came face to face with Neymar during Sunday's friendly clash between Scotland and Brazil.

And, after seeing the 19-year-old's talent first hand, Adam is certain he would be a success in England.

"It's just a matter of time before he moves from Santos," he added. "Who knows where Neymar will go but he'd light up the English Premier League."
