Charlie Adam linked with Liverpool

Charlie Adam could be set to leave Blackpool this month and join Liverpool after the Reds chairman Tom Werner declared a mountain of transfer funds will be made available to manager Kenny Dalglish.

The 25-year-old Scotland international has expressed his desire to play at a top level club after impressing in the Premier League this season.

Pulling the strings in midfield Adam has netted three times so far, fuelling further interest in his future with Aston Villa another potential suitor.

'It really isn't difficult to ignore all the talk. The bottom line is that everybody knows I want to play at the highest level,' Adam said.

Werner has promised to give Dalglish the best possible chance after taking over from Roy Hodgson, indicating that he's happy for Liverpool to increase their wage bill rather decrease it.

'I don't want to get the wage bill down, I want it to increase and we have the resources to do that. I expect us to move forward and improve our position,' he said.

'We will be driven by value but we certainly have the resources to have some targets.'

Liverpool's new American owner New England Sports Ventures has already proven they're ready to spend big with £25 million reportedly on the table for Ajax's Luis Suarez after John Henry met with the striker's agent on Tuesday.

With Blackpool manager Ian Holloway fighting tooth and nail to keep the box-to-box midfielder, it's expected Adam will depart the club for no less than £5 million more than double his estimated price of £1.7 million.
