David Moyes is lining up Blackpool talisman Charlie Adam as a replacement for Steven Pienaar, the News of the World reports.

Adam netted 16 times last season for the Seasiders, the last of which being a stunning free-kick in the play-off final at Wembley against Cardiff City.

And Moyes is now ready to test Blackpool’s resolve.

With uncertainty surrounding the future of player of the season Steven Pienaar, Moyes is hoping to bring in any potential replacements before the club set off on their tour of Australia.
