Overview

• Manchester United are not preparing a January bid for the 21-year-old, with Chelsea and Tottenham tracking his situation, according to TEAMtalk reporting.
• Crystal Palace are viewed as unlikely sellers during the season, and Wharton is not pushing to leave, making winter moves difficult.
• Ben Jacobs says Wharton has a gentleman’s agreement to leave next summer, a claim reported by Football365 without independent confirmation.
• Pundit David Bentley publicly urged Tottenham to act, describing Wharton as a composed left-footed midfielder who can dictate games from deep.
• Palace signed Wharton for an initial £18m, his Transfermarkt value is around €45m, and reports suggest the club would seek at least £60m after recent high-profile departures.
