Liverpool are being continually linked with a move for Crystal Palace and England midfielder Adam Wharton, with a new update now emerging. But speaking to Football Insider, former scout Mick Brown provided a potential twist, saying Palace won’t let the £80m-rated ace “go easily”: “The priority for Crystal Palace is to keep their best players.

Palace have shown before, rightly or wrongly, that they can be tough negotiators. They have to make sure they’re getting the right price for their players, and Wharton will cost big money if any club wants to make a move for him.

So for Liverpool or any other club looking at Wharton, they will know it will have to be a huge fee, because Palace are not going to let him go easily.” Can Adam Wharton solve Liverpool’s midfield woes? But the Palace star more than makes up for that in tenacity and positional brilliance, and he looks like the leading option for Liverpool to bring in to their midfield this summer.
