Liverpool in Pole Position to Sign Crystal Palace Sensation Adam Wharton

Liverpool are interested in signing Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton ahead of the summer transfer window, according to a report from Fichajes. Wharton has become one of the most sought-after midfielders in the Premier League of late, enjoying an impressive rise during his time with the Eagles. A host of clubs in England and in Europe will be in the race for his signature if he becomes available in the summer transfer window, and with Palace losing a host of their key men, he might be looking to follow them through the exit door. Oliver Glasner recently confirmed that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, while Marc Guehi recently completed a move to Manchester City. It's too early to say that it's all going downhill for Palace, but it's certainly been a crazy few weeks. Liverpool Plotting Palace Move According to a report from Fichajes, Liverpool have set their sights on Crystal Palace midfielder Wharton ahead of a possible move in the summer transfer window. It's claimed that Crystal Palace have already accepted that Wharton is likely to leave later this year, and they are hoping to recoup in the region of £65m. The Merseyside club are believed to be leading the race to secure his signature, despite interest from other top clubs in the Premier League. The Reds are confident that they will be able to convince him to make the move to Anfield in the summer transfer window, giving them a strong chance of winning the race. Described as 'one of the Premier League's best midfielders', Wharton would undoubtedly be a top signing for the majority of clubs in the division, but it appears Liverpool are in front as they battle for his signature. Wharton Would Transform Liverpool Wharton, labelled 'top-level' by Gareth Southgate, is the profile of player that would help transform plenty of sides in the Premier League, especially those who hope to dominate possession. The England international is incredibly comfortable receiving the ball off the back four, and there aren't many better in Europe who look to produce a positive action after receiving the ball as much as him. Whoever wins the race for Wharton in the summer is going to have a special player on their hands, and it does feel inevitable that he will be heading through the exit door. Palace are going to struggle to keep hold of him, especially with so much interest from top clubs.
