Liverpool reportedly ‘plan to accelerate’ a move to sign English talent Adam Wharton after claims they are in ‘advanced talks’ to sign the Crystal Palace midfielder. This season, Arne Slot’s team has been weak in midfield, being outrun in all but one Premier League game this season.

Latest on Liverpool transfer plans to bring Adam Wharton to Anfield amid reports of advanced negotiations This week, it was reported that Liverpool are in ‘advanced talks’ to sign Wharton. Spanish journalist Matteo Moretto broke the news, reporting that Liverpool “are in advanced talks for young Adam Wharton, preempting Real Madrid’s earlier interest.” Now, Football Insider reports that Liverpool ‘plan to accelerate’ a move to sign the 22-year-old this summer.

“According to Football Insider’s sources, Liverpool remain keen on signing Wharton after he impressed for Crystal Palace at Anfield last weekend. “Liverpool’s transfer chiefs were pleased with what they saw, and he is one of their top targets ahead of the summer window.” It will cost around £70m to sign the Palace star, but that’s a bargain for a midfielder with such an exciting trajectory.
