Tottenham are ready to take a bold step and go all out in the race to sign Adam Wharton, who remains linked with Manchester United.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Adam Wharton remains a big target for Tottenham, who are willing to go all out to sign the Crystal Palace star. The English midfielder is a big target for Manchester United too, and should Spurs push ahead with a move, it would set alarm bells ringing at Old Trafford.
It is only a matter of time before top midfield talent Adam Wharton moves away from Crystal Palace. Given his rapid trajectory since arriving at Selhurst Park, a host of top teams in the league have made enquiries since last summer, as the England international looks destined for greater things.
A January move was considered highly unlikely given the costs involved in signing a player like the 21-year-old Englishman, as well as convincing Palace to sell. Wharton does not have a shortage of suitors, with Manchester United very keen to sign him as part of their longer-term midfield rebuild.
The Red Devils have earmarked Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson, and Carlos Baleba to join the club, but have been effectively priced out in January. There is a wider expectation for Manchester United to target those names, particularly the Crystal Palace mainstay in the summer, but the latest update on the England international could set alarm bells ringing at Old Trafford.
Manchester United are ready to spend big on Wharton, but at the moment, their chase is threatened by Tottenham, who are stepping up in the chase. Spurs were also prepared to pay big, and now they are rumoured to have accelerated their pursuit as an approach could be on the cards this month.
Tottenham to sign Adam Wharton?
Tottenham have signed Conor Gallagher to fix the injury-related issue posed due to the serious hamstring problem suffered by Rodrigo Bentancur. They are not eager to sit with just the one midfield signing and are ready to bring forward plans to sign Wharton this month. Hence, Spurs could approach Palace over a deal, with the indication they are willing to fork out a large sum to secure the 21-year-old midfield target.
Spurs are keen to revive their season after exiting both domestic cups, and securing a top-four place will be paramount to their long-term success. Champions League football is a tournament Adam Wharton would want to play, and Tottenham needs to secure that every season to have the chance of attracting top names. So, a move for Wharton could be on the cards this month if the conditions are right.
