Dalglish gets his man as Adam quits Seasiders for better Kop at Pool

LIVERPOOL manager Kenny Dalglish’s dogged pursuit of midfielder Charlie Adam finally paid off after a new bid was accepted by Blackpool.

The Reds boss twice tried to sign the Scotland international in January only to have an offer of £6.5m (€7.2m) rejected as the Seasiders held on to their prized asset.

It was hoped keeping Adam would help safeguard their Premier League future but when relegation came in May the 25-year-old, with only 12 months left on his contract, told the club Anfield was his preferred destination this summer.
