“Crystal Palace Takes Initiative in Pursuit of Blackburn’s Adam Wharton, Everton Faces Closing Window for Action”

Everton has been actively monitoring the performance of Blackburn Rovers midfielder Adam Wharton at Ewood Park throughout this season.

However, Crystal Palace has taken the initiative by making the first move to sign the 19-year-old, as reported by the Daily Mail on January 24. Discussions between Palace and Blackburn are currently in progress.

Despite Everton, along with Newcastle and Tottenham, being long-term admirers of Wharton, the narrowing window of opportunity at Goodison Park becomes apparent as

talks have already commenced with Palace.

Everton faces a crucial decision on whether to translate their interest into concrete action, with Palace reportedly submitting a £15 million bid on January 24, further reducing the time Everton has to act.

While financial constraints at Goodison Park may pose challenges for an

immediate deal, missing out on Wharton could add to the frustrations of Everton’s transfer team.

The 19-year-old midfielder has consistently impressed

with his performances for Blackburn this season, prompting speculation

about a move to the Premier League as the next logical step in his career progression.
