Liverpool are reportedly in 'advanced talks' over a summer move for Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton.

Wharton, 22, has been a key player for Crystal Palace this season, featuring in 46 games across all competitions.

According to journalist Matteo Morreto, Liverpool are already in ‘advanced talks’ over a deal for Wharton, with the deal expected to be worth £70 million.

It’s understood that Wharton is open to leaving Palace in search of a new adventure, and the club won’t stand in his way.

Should the deal happen, it would be a record sale for Crystal Palace, narrowly surpassing the £68m Arsenal paid for Eberechi Eze last summer.
