The Englishman spent most of his six years in Merseyside in the physio room, but will likely leave with a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Premier League<\/a> winners medal as a parting gift.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And, in truth, now seems like the perfect time for Lallana and Liverpool to part ways with the likes of<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4fb9c88f\/Curtis-Jones\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Curtis Jones<\/a> primed and ready for some first-team action. This will also give Lallana the perfect opportunity to rediscover his best form with the help of first-team football.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many clubs could make use of Lallana&#8217;s experience and talents, including the teams below, to form one of the best deals of the summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Three Clubs Adam Lallana Could Join This Summer<\/h2>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A Return to Southampton\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">6 years ago, Adam Lallana became the villain of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/southampton\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Southampton<\/a> by swapping the Saints for the Reds. However, 6 years later and the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1245169\/Southampton-transfer-Liverpool-Adam-Lallana-Arsenal-Tottenham-Leicester-West-Ham\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Express<\/a> has reported that the former captain has the chance to get back on the good side of the Southampton fans<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The move would be somewhat of a wholesome one for Lallana; he would be going full circle in his career. And, in fairness, its a move that both parties desperately need. Adam Lallana needs consistent first-team action to rediscover his best form. Whilst Southampton need an experienced yet talented midfielder to take the club from mid-table mediocracy to the top half of the table once again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A midfield combination of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/3515d404\/James-Ward-Prowse\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James Ward-Prowse<\/a> and Adam Lallana would certainly entice the Southampton fans, making this deal even more possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Adam Lallana to Provide Spark for Tottenham Hotspur<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Since the departure of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/980522ec\/Christian-Eriksen\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christian Eriksen<\/a> in January, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/tottenham\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spurs<\/a> have failed to replace the creativity of the Dane and therefore failed to pick up crucial points. The free transfer of Adam Lallana, however, could solve this problem. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lallana can exercise his creativity in midfield, with Jurgen Klopp often turning to him when looking to add that extra spark; this is a spark that Spurs have so desperately lacked over the past couple of months. According to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1245169\/Southampton-transfer-Liverpool-Adam-Lallana-Arsenal-Tottenham-Leicester-West-Ham\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Express<\/a>, Spurs are among a few clubs interested in the Liverpool man.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The transfer of Lallana would also come risk-free for Jose Mourinho and Daniel Levy; they would be getting an experienced creative midfielder without having to spend a penny on transfer fees.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A Reunion at Leicester City\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In 2014, Brendan Rodgers brought Adam Lallana to Anfield for a fee of \u00a325 million. And now, 6 years later, the duo look set to join forces once again with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/leicester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leicester;<\/a> the club are favourites for Lallana&#8217;s signature in the summer as reported by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leicestermercury.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/lallana-leicester-liverpool-spurs-arsenal-3866045\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> LeicestershireLive<\/a>. The move makes sense for both parties with Leicester adding experience to a youthful midfield. And Lallana getting the opportunity to regularly play first-team football at the highest of levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The reuniting of Rodgers and Lallana will perhaps see the latter return to his best form and help Leicester solidify their top-four hopes next season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"7hFRpeAKQwdgJaYOmuzQWQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1211605915\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'7hFRpeAKQwdgJaYOmuzQWQ',sig:'RCUqSOm4XPAVWgrix3yheEDE-MiHPdJO_PrTt7QQ_mk=',w:'594px',h:'337px',items:'1211605915',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Adam Lallana is set to leave Liverpool in the summer with his current contract coming to an end.
