Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs keen on signing the Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton at the end of the season.
According to CaughtOffside, they will face competition from Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool for his signature.
The 21-year-old has established himself as one of the finest young midfield talents in the league, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for the future. Wharton has established himself as a key player for the Eagles, and there is no doubt that he would be a transformative addition for Tottenham as well.
Wharton has been described by Eberechi Eze as an “incredible player to play with”.
Adam Wharton would help Tottenham improve
Tottenham need someone who can control the tempo of the game and help out defensively. Wharton could form a solid partnership with Pape Matar Sarr at the heart of the Tottenham midfield next season. However, Crystal Palace have no intention of letting him leave, and they are hoping to tie him down to a new deal. It will be interesting to see if the player decides to commit his long-term future to the club.
The 21-year-old has the potential to develop into a top-class player with the right guidance, and joining a big club in the summer could accelerate his development. He would get to play alongside top-quality players and work with elite managers.
Can Spurs convince top players to join?
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can secure Champions League football for the next season. They will take on Manchester United in the final of the UEFA Europa League, and they need to win the tournament in order to compete in Europe next year. If they manage to secure Champions League qualification, they will be an attractive destination for players.
It remains to be seen whether they are ready to pay a premium for the player. He is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition, and the Eagles will demand a substantial amount of money for their prized young prospect.
