He scored 18 goals in 44 appearances for the Newcastle side and his form earned him his first full international cap in 2012. He also attracted the attention of English Premier League team Fulham. On June 24, 2014, Adam agreed a move to Craven Cottage for an undisclosed fee, signing a three year deal.
