He is likely to cost a lot of money and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to pay big for him. Players have all the tools to develop into future stars. He is already performing at a very high level in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">He has been an integral part of Crystal Palace and was one of the main reasons why they recently won the FA Cup and Community Shield. The 21-year-old may be excited about a new challenge and the opportunity to join a big club would be hard for him to turn down. Although Tottenham are mid-table, they have an exciting project and a talented squad. They could bounce back in a big way in the coming months and give Wharton a chance to fight for a trophy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_clubs_are_also_interested_in_Wharton\"><\/span>Other clubs are also interested in Wharton.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adam Wharton at Crystal Palace vs. Manchester United (Photo by Julian Finney\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">Meanwhile, competition from Manchester United and Chelsea will make it difficult for the north London club to complete a deal. A premium will have to be paid to complete the deal, and Crystal Palace will likely hope that a bidding war will drive the price up. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will respond to their interest with a formal offer.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham Hotspur remain interested in signing Crystal Palace&#8217;s Adam Wharton.
