Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton is reportedly happy to wait for a Liverpool switch next season despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur. As reported by journalist Alan Nixon via TBR Football, the 21-year-old only wants a move to Anfield.
Wharton has seen a rapid rise to stardom since joining Crystal Palace from Championship side Blackburn Rovers in January 2024. The Eagles only spent £22 million with add-ons for the defensive midfielder and he has been worth every penny.
In the span of the last 18 months, Wharton has been called up for England at the senior level and also represented them in the 2024 European Championship. He also helped Crystal Palace win the FA Cup with Crystal Palace last season.

Liverpool agree €95 million deal to sign in-demand striker - Reports
Liverpool have reportedly agreed a €95 million deal to land coveted French striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. As reported by German journalist Florian Plettenberg on X, the Reds are set to sign the 23-year-old on a six-year deal until 2031.
Ekitike, who also attracted interest from Chelsea and Newcastle United, will reportedly cost the Merseyside giants €95 million if all add-ons are met. He is now set to undergo medical before completing his big move to Anfield.
The Frenchman enjoyed a brilliant season with Eintracht Frankfurt last time out scoring 22 goals and providing 12 assists in 48 games. He initially joined the Bundesliga side on loan from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in February 2024 before making a permanent switch six months later.
Liverpool have been very active during the summer transfer window this time. They have already signed Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez this summer and Ekitike would be their fourth major addition.
