Report: Chelsea monitoring £60m rated Premier League star, Liverpool and Man United interested | OneFootball

Chelsea are monitoring Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, but face competition from two of their Premier League rivals according to reports.

The Blues are set for yet another busy summer and could look sell as many as seven or eight players in order to fund their business.

Chelsea face a critical window with the club looking to sign a striker, centre back and right footed attacker to strengthen Enzo Maresca’s squad.

Whilst a striker is the main priority one area which certainly doesn’t need strengthening is midfield, which is arguably the strongest area of the squad.

The report states Chelsea have been tracking Wharton since he was at Blackburn and their interest in him comes from their desire to build a Premier League winning squad.

TEAMtalk add the Blues may have to make an offer in excess of £60m if they are to have any chance of landing the 21-year-old.

Wharton, who’s preparing for Saturday’s FA Cup final has made 26 appearances for the Eagles this season, but has yet to find the back of the net.

Santos and Essugo arriving in the summer

Chelsea already have Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia on their books, whilst the midfield will be further boosted this summer.

Andrey Santos is set for a key role in the squad after excelling at Strasbourg, whilst the Blues agreed a deal in March to sign Dario Essugo from Sporting Lisbon.
