Liverpool are ready to challenge the top Premier League rival clubs to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton in January.
The Reds have already bolstered their midfield with established young German star Florian Wirtz but remain keen to strengthen more.
Top clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United are also keen to recruit Wharton, while Newcastle United are also in conversation.
The 21-year-old midfielder established himself as a key name at Palace immediately after he arrived from Blackburn Rovers in 2024.
Wharton’s playmaking skills, maturity, and positioning sense, combined with his combative physical prowess, have garnered a lot of praise.
At such a young age, the England international has a very high ceiling, yet he is already playing with incredible consistency.
Liverpool wants Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton in January to compete with the likes of Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister.
According to ESPN (via TeamTalk), Liverpool are ready to challenge Man United and Chelsea among several clubs to sign Wharton from Palace in January, valued at £60 million by the Eagles.
Someone like Wharton fits the profile they desire, as he has the combination of both physical strength and technical abilities.
The Reds have operated with a three-man midfield under Arne Slot, preferring Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister in midfield.
As things stand, Wharton is a perfect addition for the midfield to give healthy competition to the senior players.
