Bayern Munich are reportedly lining up a move for Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton after missing out on him in the winter transfer window.
Wharton joined Crystal Palace from Blackburn Rovers in January and has been very impressive in Oliver Glasner s midfield.
Signed by Roy Hodgson, the 20-year-old hit the ground running but his game has elevated to another level under Glasner, with some talk of an England call-up ahead of this summer s European Championships.

It is believed that Bundesliga giants Bayern were interested in signing the former Blackburn midfielder in January and are still keen.
