Stoke City have made a £5m bid for Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam.
Manager Tony Pulis is hopeful a deal can be completed in the next 48 hours after the Scot was made available for transfer by Brendan Rodgers.
Adam had been keen to stay at Anfield to fight for his place but Liverpool want to raise funds to bid for Fulham forward Clint Dempsey.
Jay Spearing is also expected to leave, albeit on loan, with Wolves and Bolton interested in the midfielder.
