Liverpool are very interested in signing Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton.
The 21-year-old has recently been linked with a move from Selhurst Park, with all ‘Big Six’ clubs interested in signing him. According to a report from Fichajes, Liverpool are leading the race to sign him. The player is valued at £65 million, with the asking price likely to rise depending on his performance.
The player is highly rated in the Premier League and has a bright future ahead of him. He has the tools to develop into a top-flight midfielder in the Premier League and Liverpool need someone with his skill set. They need more physicality and defensive cover in the middle of the park. The 21-year-old will also add control and composure to the side.
The opportunity to join the Premier League champions will be an exciting one for him. In the future, they aim to win the league and qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Liverpool could provide him with the platform he needs. They have been successful in developing young players and could play a key role in the development of the England squad.
He has already proven himself at Crystal Palace and now may be the right time for him to move on and take on a new challenge. He won the FA Cup and Community Shield with the Eagles. It is unlikely that they will help him win big trophies.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can make a deal in the coming months. They have the resources to pay a premium and the 21-year-old could transform them in the middle of the park.
