Premier League Heavyweights Chase Crystal Palace Midfielder Adam Wharton

Overview

• Multiple outlets report that Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United have opened or increased contact over Adam Wharton, with Liverpool said to have held talks with the player's representatives by June 20.
• Liverpool are using the promise of Champions League football and a direct approach to position themselves as early front‑runners in discussions about a possible move.
• Tottenham view Wharton as a realistic elite target in a wider midfield rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi and are preparing a serious pursuit as they plan to add up to three midfielders.
• Crystal Palace hold strong leverage because Wharton is under contract until 2029 and is widely valued at about £60m in public databases, so any transfer would likely require a substantial fee and formal bids.
• Wharton is a young, Premier League‑proven left‑footed deep‑lying playmaker noted for composure and game control, and his sale could reshape midfield plans at the interested clubs depending on departures and budget moves.
