Charlie Adam insists he still wants to leave Blackpool (1 Viewer)

Adam: Blackpool contract extension hasn't changed my mind about quitting

Despite the Seasiders extending his contract by a further 12 months.

Blackpool claim they have tied Adam to Bloomfield Road until June 2013 after unilaterally taking up the one-year option on his deal.

However the Scotland midfielder, who was gutted at being denied a move in January, is adamant he wants to switch to a Premier League club.

Liverpool, who along with Tottenham and Aston Villa, failed to land Adam in the last transfer window remain keen.

Speaking ahead of Scotland's Carling Nations Cup decider against the Republic of Ireland on Sunday, the Blackpool skipper said: "I just want to keep playing. Obviously the Premier League is the top of the tree and obviously I want to play there.

"For me the focus now is just on Sunday and I need to keep performing well.

"Once that is out of the way I'll go on holiday and then take things after that."
