Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on the Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton.
According to a report from Football Insider, Tottenham are monitoring the player and could make a move for him soon.
The report further describes the midfielder as someone with “huge potential”. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham and get the deal done.
Wharton has already established himself as an important player for Crystal Palace and there is no doubt that he has the quality to play for the biggest clubs in the country. Tottenham need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the 21-year-old will add control, composure, and defensive cover to the side.
He could form a solid partnership with the likes of Archie Grey in the middle of the park in future. However, he has a long-term contract with Palace and he is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition. It will be interesting to see if Spurs are willing to break the bank for him.
The 21-year-old seems like the ideal fit for Spurs in theory and they would do well to secure his signature. He would be a long-term investment for them, and even if he costs a premium now, he could justify the investment in the long term. The 21-year-old could be attracted to the idea of playing for a bigger club and Tottenham could be an attractive destination for him. They have an ambitious project and a talented squad. They could help him compete in European football and push for trophies.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few months. Tottenham need to plug the gaps in their squad if they want to fight for trophies regularly. Signing a quality defensive midfielder should be one of their priorities.
