Adam race hots up

The race is on for Blackpool's highly rated midfielder Charlie Adam again, with Liverpool ready to rival Tottenham Hotspur for his signature.

It looks to be a forgone conclusion that the former Rangers star will be leaving Blackpool this summer, whether or not they win their own battle to avoid relegation.

Both Liverpool and Spurs are reported to have had transfer deadline day moves for Adam turned down in January, thought to be around the £9m mark, and both are expected to make renewed efforts to sign the player in the summer.

Kenny Dalglish was at Ewood Park to watch Adam score twice in a 2-2 draw on his return from suspension against Blackburn on Saturday, as was Spurs' chief scout Ian Bloomfield.

And it is now set to come down to a summer battle between the pair to land the player.
