Long term Dale target Nicky Adams is set for a switch to Leicester City, after the out of contract winger agreed a move to the Walkers Stadium.

It had been widely thought for a while that Adams was on his way to Spotland, and it was far from just the usual local rumour mill doing the rounds.But on the day that his contract at Gigg Lane finally expired, it seemed that Dale have been pipped at the post by Leicester City.

The newly relegated League One side have plenty of money to spend having sold two players for in excess of £1,000,000 in recent days, and it seemed they could offer more as a club to the Welsh Under 21 international than we could.

This news is expected to be confirmed at some stage early this week, when Leicester announce the signature of Adams.
