Liverpool have been linked with a move to sign Adam Wharton for close to a year now, with the biggest indication that he would want to join the Reds arriving this week. “Palace are in box seat here, he’s under contract and obviously if other midfield targets are being signed by other clubs then it might see Wharton stay at Selhurst Park.” Wharton would be a very special addition to the Liverpool team that Andoni Iraola is assembling, particularly given how the team lacks a deep-lying playmaker.

The midfielder has now dropped the biggest indication that he would love a move to Anfield. Wharton wins Gerrard shirt, sparking fresh transfer frenzy Wharton couldn’t hide how excited he was to win a signed Steven Gerrard shirt from the historic 2005 Champions League final.

Wharton won the shirt in an eBay Live auction and received it on Monday, expressing his excitement afterwards, saying: “We got it.” Sharing that the shirt had finally arrived, he said: “So the shirt from Icon Memorabilia’s live stream has just arrived – here it is. What a beauty that is.” Michael first started supporting Liverpool after Istanbul in 2006.
