Scotland international Charlie Adam has
joined Stoke City from Liverpool for an undisclosed fee, the
Premier League club announced on Friday.
The 26-year-old midfielder joined Liverpool last season from
Blackpool, but found himself out of favour with new Anfield
manager Brendan Rodgers.
He has signed a four-year deal at the Britannia Stadium.
"It's no secret that we've been looking to bring more goals
to the squad and Charlie is a fantastic signing in that
respect," Stoke manager Tony Pulis told the club's website.
"Not only will his creativity and his eye for delivering a
pass be a great asset to us, he scored 12 goals for Blackpool in
the Premier League two seasons ago."
Adam said: "This club's on the up and it's great to be a
part of it.
"I hope I can help them to improve upon the success which
has been achieved over the past few years."
He is the fifth player to join the Potters over summer,
joining Maurice Edu, Jamie Ness, Michael Kightly and Geoff
Cameron.
