Gary Rowett has admitted that Charlie Adam is free to leave Stoke City if he wants more playing time, after barely featuring for the Potters this season.
Adam could make his farewell appearance for Stoke City in Wednesday night's Checkatrade Trophy derby at Port Vale, if he gets the nod to play.
Adam has played 169 times for Stoke since joining from Liverpool in 2012, and will be out of contract at the Bet 365 Stadium in the summer and has frequently spoke about the possibility of a January move.
The Stoke Sentinel reports that manager Gary Rowett has revealed he wouldn’t stand in his way barring an injury crisis, saying: “I don’t think Charlie’s situation has changed since the summer because we have been open-minded.
