Agent: Adams wants to leave Blackpool

Blackpool midfielder Charlie Adam has handed in a transfer request, according to his agent.

The news comes after manager Ian Holloway revealed that three clubs had made unsuccessful bids for the player – Aston Villa, Birmingham and latterly Liverpool.

Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston said they had rejected a £4million offer from Liverpool on Friday.

But Adam is now keen to move on and his agent Kenny Moyes told Press Association Sport: “I can confirm Charlie has handed in a transfer request.”
