Liverpool man on way out

Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam is close to exiting the club after he was told by Brendan Rodgers he was not to feature in the new manager's future plans.

The Scot has only been at Anfield a year after joining from Blackpool last summer, but his days have seemingly been numbered since Rodgers took over in the summer.

Now, after being told he is free to leave, Fulham and Stoke are primed to sign the 26 year old who Liverpool value at around £5 million.

Everton had also been linked in taking Adam across Stanley Park, but there interest in the midfielder has cooled.
