Rangers are keeping tabs on Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam ahead of a potential move in the summer. According to recent reports, the Scottish midfielder is reportedly said to be on the Gers’ radar as the club is currently in dire need of more midfield options after being blighted by injuries in recent weeks. It is understood that the Dundee born midfielder will be open to making a switch back to the Ibrox Stadium after being frozen out at Stoke City this season.
The veteran midfielder is struggling to get enough game time during the course of this campaign which is likely to have left him frustrated. Hence, he could be looking for a way out to go back to his homeland in search of greener pastures. The 32-year-old has a wealth of experience in English football which could be beneficial for Rangers as they look to bridge the gap between themselves and their rivals Celtic at the top of the Scotting Premiership next season.
Adam might be heading towards the twilight of his career but he knows what it takes to play at the top level as evidenced by his time in the Premier League with Blackpool, Liverpool and Stoke City in recent seasons. He has featured in 16 matches for Stoke City this season and has just found the back of the net once while making one assist in all competitions. He also has 26 international caps while representing the Scottish national team during his career.
Rangers are currently sitting in the second place in the Scottish Premiership table with a tally of 58 points in 29 league outings with just six points separating them from third-placed Aberdeen, who have played a game less. The Teddy Bears are still a massive 6 points behind crosstown rivals and league leaders Celtic going into the final stretch of the season.
The potential addition of Adam could turn out to be a shrewd piece of business for Rangers if they can lure him to the Ibrox Stadium next summer. He will undoubtedly bolster Graeme Murty’s midfield options going into the new season. His passing range and delivery from dead ball situations can be a handy asset in Rangers’ attacking arsenal as they look to mount a title challenge next term.
It remains to be seen what lies ahead in the future of Charlie Adam and whether he ends up making a switch back to Glasgow in search of regular first-team football.
