Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton has been mentioned as a midfield option for Liverpool this summer, and journalist Pete O’Rourke has now dropped a key update. Wharton has been linked with a move to Liverpool many times in the last few months, potentially being seen as someone to add quality and depth to a key area.

“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.” Is Adam Wharton Liverpool’s strongest midfield target? Missing out on Wharton would be a shame for Liverpool, considering the control he brings in midfield, threading passes between the lines and working impressively off the ball.

He has to be considered one of the best options for the Reds in the middle of the park, not least because of his long-term potential, and they will do well to sign someone at his level. He is also a main contributor for This Is Anfield, one of the world's biggest Reds-related sites, where he writes features and news, and covers matchday content.
