Liverpool must step up chase for 'outstanding' ace as fresh transfer news emerges | OneFootball

Rumours of Adam Wharton's potential transfer from Crystal Palace to Liverpool have been around for some time now.

Talk of a move in the summer was rife but in the end, the Reds chose to upgrade their attack with Ryan Gravenberch expected to hold down the fort in the middle of the park.

And, while that's worked out most of the time, when the Dutchman is in need of a rest or just isn't at his best, it's clear that some, such as Wataru Endo, just aren't cut out to be Premier League players anymore.

This has then led to Liverpool's fans wanting to see some new midfielders added to their squad.

However, as per a fresh report from Spanish outlet AS, it seems like the Reds have plenty of competition on their hands for the transfer of the Englishman.

Interest in Wharton has always been heavy but, now that Real Madrid have entered the fold, Liverpool clearly need to make their move as soon as possible.

Los Blancos already have the likes of Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni among their ranks but that seemingly hasn't stopped them from being offered a potential move for Wharton.

The former Blackburn Rovers ace was once dubbed 'outstanding' by Declan Rice after his impressive performances at Selhurst Park and it's clear why some of the biggest teams in the world are vying for his transfer.

AS report that clubs such as Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea are all interested in the Englishman but at the moment, it's Real who seem to be leading the way.
