Midfielder delighted to join Liverpool from Blackpool
Liverpool have completed the signing of Charlie Adam from Blackpool and the midfielder has penned a long-term contract at Anfield.
The Reds have been in pursuit of the Scotland international since January and finally agreed a fee with the Seasiders earlier this week.
He then travelled to Merseyside to undergo a medical and has now finalised personal terms to become Kenny Dalglish's latest summer signing.
There has been plenty of speculation about the 25-year-old's future since he submitted a transfer request during the winter.
A number of clubs were interested but Blackpool fought hard to keep a player who was a star performer during their maiden Premier League campaign.
Having suffered relegation in May it looked only a matter of time before Adam left Bloomfield Road, and he is now looking forward to embarking on a new challenge with Liverpool.
"I am absolutely delighted to be here," Adam told the club's
official website. "It has been a long process but now I can't wait to get started and hopefully this will be a successful period in my career and in the club's history.
"Liverpool is a massive club with terrific players and a terrific manager.
Looking to win
"I see this as the perfect development for me to come here, play with such wonderful players and hopefully help the team to win trophies, because that's the most important thing.
"I'm delighted to be able to walk out on the same pitch as some of the players here.
"There are good players at the club, top, top players who I want to learn from. I want to become a better player and hopefully bring something to the team.
"Hopefully we can have a successful period because it's been missing now for a couple of years.
"At the end of the day you get judged on trophies and as a footballer you want to win as many as you can.
"This club has had a lot of success over the years, so let's get back to doing that."
