Crystal Palace target Charlie Adam?

Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway will reportedly make Stoke City's Charlie Adam his first signing in the summer if his side are promoted to the Premier League.

The Scottish international wants a move away from the Potters after struggling his force his way into the first-team setup at the Britannia Stadium, according to The Mirror.

Holloway is keen for a reunion with the 27-year-old as he managed him during his time at Blackpool to good effect, which earned the midfielder a big money move to Liverpool two years ago.

The Eagles boss tried to take Adam on loan last week but was rebuffed by Stoke boss Tony Pulis. However, he is likely to return with another bid should Palace reach the top flight.
