Championship clubs Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers are interested in Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam, according to the Daily Express.

The report claims that both clubs were interested in signing the player on a permanent deal, but have been put off by the Scotland international's wage demands and potential transfer fee, and are now seeking a loan deal for the remainder of the season.

The 30-year-old, who has 18 months left on his contract with the Potters, has managed only ten league starts this season and could be interested in a move away from the Britannia Stadium in a bid to get regular playing time.
