It's less than a month before the new Premier League season begins and clubs are busy trying to bolster their squads ahead of the big kick-off.
It's been quite the window so far, with some big early moves and some notable new names set to be part of proceedings this year.
"I think Elanga going to Newcastle is a shrewd signing," he said.
"He gives them real speed at the top end of the pitch. Especially when you've got Gordon, you've got Barnes, and they've got Isak. If they can keep hold of Isak too, because at the moment, I think, you know, this is probably the top number nine in European football, the way he plays.
"If they can keep him, keep that group, you have to say Eddie Howe's done a brilliant job there. So Newcastle have done well with Elanga.
"I think he's going to be a real different dimension for them."
As for Adam's old club Liverpool, they've also been busy adding to their title-winning squad. So far, Arne Slot has added three big new recruits as the Reds look to defend their trophy, and the ex-Scotland international has been impressed by the way they've gone about their business.
"Clever, clever. Quick, early, fast," Adam added.
"I think the three signings that they've made in terms of Frimpong, Kerkes and Wirtz are three top signings.
"I've seen Kerkez up close for Bournemouth with Everton and he was really athletic, good left back and plays more like a sort of left winger at times. So yeah, interesting to see how they do.
"Frimping, obviously, I know a little bit from when he was at Celtic and then he went to Leverkusen and won the league there. So, coming in with a reputation but a totally different type of player from Trent Alexander-Arnold.
"It'd be interesting to see how Liverpool now manoeuvre, how they want to try and play next season."
