**Chelsea** has entered fully into the fight for the signing of Adam Wharton, the midfielder of Crystal Palace.

The 21-year-old English player has attracted interest from several giants of English football, including **Liverpool** and **Manchester United**, but the Blues plan to make a statement in the upcoming winter market.

Adam Wharton, the jewel of Crystal Palace

Since his arrival from Blackburn Rovers in January 2024, Adam Wharton has shown a level of quality that few expected in such a short time. With nearly 50 games played and six assists in his first full season, the young midfielder has not only secured a regular spot in Palace's starting eleven but also a place in the **English national team**.

Analysts highlight his ability to regain possession, his passing accuracy, and tactical maturity. The Palace's own coach, Oliver Glasner, recently stated: "Wharton understands the game like a veteran. His spatial awareness sets him apart from other players his age."

Chelsea's plan to strengthen their midfield

**Chelsea**'s interest in Wharton comes from the need to reinforce a midfield that already includes **Enzo Fernández** and **Moisés Caicedo** but has suffered from the extended absence of **Romeo Lavia** due to injury. For **Enzo Maresca**, bringing in Wharton would not only cover an absence but also raise the team's competitive level.

The intention of the London club is to build a solid midfield capable of competing in Europe. According to sources close to the board, the Blues would be willing to invest a significant amount, although **Palace** could demand a considerable sum due to Wharton being one of their most valuable assets.

Liverpool and Manchester United also want him

**Liverpool** has been tracking Wharton for some time. Jürgen Klopp is looking for a midfielder with defensive capabilities following the defensive concerns shown at the start of the season. The player fits the profile of the Reds, who prioritize intensity and midfield control.

At **Manchester United**, the need is also evident. **Casemiro** is in the final stretch of his career, and **Manuel Ugarte** has not completely convinced. Wharton represents youth, potential, and balance, qualities that Old Trafford's team urgently needs.

Despite the growing interest, the final decision won't be easy. Various reports suggest that Wharton sees the possibility of joining **Liverpool** positively, although the sporting and financial proposal from **Chelsea** could be decisive.

The winter market of 2026 promises to be eventful, with all signs pointing to the young Englishman being one of the protagonists. If he ultimately lands at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea will have taken a key step in its reconstruction, securing a midfielder capable of leaving a mark on an era.
