Tottenham ready to swoop in for the highly rated Crystal palace star Adam Wharton
The Europa League success should not paper over the cracks prevailing at Tottenham. The Lilywhites struggled to get going this season and found life tough in the Premier League. They finished the campaign just a place above the relegation zone, registering 22 losses along the way. It is fair to say that Ange Postecoglou exceeded all expectations by ending the club’s long-standing trophy drought this season.
Now, Spurs should look to build on the Europa League success and bring in quality players for next season. The North London club now has the perfect chance to close the gap on their rivals. For that, the Lilywhites must first sell underperforming players in the summer and generate funds for new arrivals.
Due to the dismal Premier League campaign, Daniel Levy is forced to adopt the ‘sell-to-buy’ policy in the summer to bring in new signings. A major squad overhaul is expected at N17 and many key players are linked with an exit in the coming weeks. This can only be good news for the Lilywhites as potential exits could generate the much-needed funds for quality replacements.
Tottenham want to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton
There is no surprise that Tottenham are looking to bring in midfield reinforcements in the summer. With Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur facing an uncertain future at the club, Daniel Levy is aiming to sign a quality replacement that could raise the ceiling of the squad next season.
As per TEAMtalk, Spurs are interested in signing Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace. Ange Postecoglou has been a long-term admirer of the talented midfielder and Tottenham would make a move for the Palace star if the Australian stays at the helm for next season. Daniel Levy believes that Wharton would be an ideal signing for the high-pressing game that the Lilywhites play under Big Ange.
However, the aforementioned report also suggests that Oliver Glasner does not want to let the 21-year-old leave as he is an integral part of the Austrian tactician’s setup. The Eagles have also valued the England international at approximately £60m. So pricing away the talented midfielder from Selhurst Park would be a tough task for Spurs in the summer.
Adam Wharton is an ideal fit for Tottenham. Signing the 21-year-old would mean that Rodrigo Bentancur would lose out his place in the starting eleven instantly. A midfield trio of Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, and Adam Wharton would elevate the quality of the Spurs squad for years to come and instantly make them a strong team.

The Crystal Palace star is an elite ball-carrier and tends to drop deep to receive the pass. He also thrives in a high-pressing team and has great positional awareness while anchoring the midfield. Wharton also has a good passing range and tends to invite pressure before releasing the ball to his teammates that have free space. His game-style is perfectly suited for Big Ange’s system and signing the 21-year-old would be a step in the right direction.
