Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam is a surprise target for Leeds United.

Various media outlets are reporting that the 29-year old Scotland international has emerged on the summer transfer wish-list of Whites manager Neil Redfearn.

Leeds are waiting to see if their transfer embargo is lifted, coinciding with the return of controversial chairman Massimo Cellino, before pursuing their reported targets.

Adam has scored three goals in his past five outings for the Potters but has managed just 12 Premier League starts under Mark Hughes this term.
