Sunderland Football Club will have to pay £5million if they want Charlie Adam.

The 24-year-old has had a big impact at Blackpool since joining them on loan last season, which was enough to make the Championship side take him permanently in the summer.

Bolton Wanderers are long term admirers of the midfielder, capped twice by Scotland, whilst Birmingham City and Wigan Athletic have all been linked.

The Daily Mail claim Steve Bruce is interested in taking Adam to the Stadium of Light, and in a bid to deter a bid, Ian Holloway has slapped a £5million price tag on his head.
