Liverpool have already opened talks with Adam Wharton’s representatives as the race to sign the Crystal Palace midfielder intensifies this summer.
The 21-year-old has emerged as one of the most coveted young midfielders in the Premier League, attracting serious interest from multiple top-flight clubs.
Tottenham Hotspur are among those chasing Wharton, having switched their attention towards the Crystal Palace star after a move for Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United appeared unlikely.
Liverpool’s direct approach with the player’s camp places them ahead in the race, and their ability to offer Champions League football gives them a clear advantage over rivals.
Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly a huge admirer of the 21-year-old, believing he has the technical ability and composure to control the tempo of the game and protect the defensive unit from midfield.
Wharton has been hailed as “incredible” by those close to the situation, and it is easy to see why so many clubs are willing to fight for his signature this window.
Manchester United have also been monitoring the midfielder for quite some time, with the club looking to rebuild their midfield options during the transfer window.
Crystal Palace will not surrender their prized asset easily, and the club are expected to demand a premium fee before allowing Wharton to leave Selhurst Park.
Liverpool’s need for a specialist defensive midfielder makes Wharton an ideal target, and he could form a formidable partnership alongside Ryan Gravenberch at the heart of their midfield.
Tottenham face a tough challenge given that Liverpool can offer a more ambitious project and European football at the highest level to attract the talented youngster.
Manchester United’s interest adds another layer of competition to what is shaping up to be one of the most closely contested transfer battles of the summer window.
Wharton has all the tools to develop into a future star, and whichever club secures his signature will be making an exceptional acquisition for years to come.
