A Liverpool reporter says the Reds are monitoring Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton
Liverpool are believed to be monitoring the progress of Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton after the 20-year-old’s impressive impact on the Eagles’ season following his arrival at Selhurst Park in January.
Wharton moved to the South London club as part of a £22m deal with Blackburn Rovers and the midfielder became an instant hit with Crystal Palace fans.
The 20-year-old played 16 Premier League games for Palace last season and put in some outstanding displays, including a stunning performance at Anfield, where Oliver Glasner’s men beat Liverpool 1-0.
This earned Wharton a place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024 and although the youngster did not feature in Germany, making the squad was a huge achievement for the player given where he has come from over the past six months.
Many of the Premier League’s “Big Six” will have their eye on Wharton now and according to Liverpool reporter David Lynch, the Reds are keeping an eye on the Crystal Palace midfielder and will monitor his progress over the coming years.
Adam Wharton would have solved many of Liverpool’s problems
Liverpool have been on the lookout for a new number six in the current transfer market and have had no luck signing one, which is why the Reds rejected Marseille’s bid for Wataru Endo.
The Merseyside club will not be able to sign Wharton this summer but patience could be the key to securing the Englishman in 2025.
The 20-year-old will solve many of Liverpool’s problems in that position as the England star has an incredible ability that could see him become one of the best in the world as a defensive midfielder.
However, the Premier League giants will not be the only ones looking to lure the 20-year-old to Selhurst Park as a number of big clubs will continue to monitor his progress in South London next year.
