Manchester United are now reportedly set to join Tottenham Hotspur in the race for Adam Wharton, who has won many admirers since his switch to the Premier League a little over 12 months ago.Adam Wharton had an incredible beginning to his Premier League career after swapping Blackburn Rovers for Crystal Palace in January of 2024.However, his first full season at Selhurst Park has not gone according to plan so far, with injuries restricting the 21-year-old to just 10 Premier League appearances so far.This has not dampened Tottenham’s interest, with reports over recent days claiming that Spurs see Adam Wharton as someone with ‘huge potential to become a top-class player’.The same update claimed that Postecoglou is of the belief that the Blackburn academy graduate could form a great partnership in midfield with Archie Gray in the future.Photo by Molly Darlington/Getty ImagesTottenham and Man United both linked with Adam WhartonHowever, CaughtOffside have now claimed that Man Utd have also joined in the race for Wharton, having been really impressed by his performances for the Eagles so far.The Red Devils are said to be monitoring the midfielder closely and are considering making a formal move when the transfer market reopens in the summer.To further complicate matters for Spurs, the publication says that Juventus also hold an interest in Wharton, with the Serie A giants wanting the Englishman to replace Douglas Luiz, who has struggled to make an impact in Turin.It is asserted that a deal for Wharton ‘won’t be easy’ to do as Palace are expected to ask for ‘big money’ if clubs come knocking for their young starlet.Are Tottenham prioritising signing English players this summer?Based on the transfer links we have heard over the last few weeks, it seems like Johan Lange and the Tottenham recruitment department are prioritising signing English players in the summer.That suggests that there is a recognition at Hotspur Way that the club need to improve their homegrown numbers going into next season.When it comes to the midfield department, which is one Spurs undoubtedly need to strengthen in the summer, Wharton and Angel Gomes appear to be the two candidates near the top of the Lilywhites’ wishlist.The post Tottenham may have competition to sign Adam Wharton from Premier League rivals appeared first on Spurs Web.
