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.
He has three assists in his last seven Premier League appearances, helping the Eagles win five of their last six top-flight matches.
Euro 2024 will probably come too soon for Wharton, but there is no doubt that he will make his senior international debut within the next year.

Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman says he will no longer consider Steven Bergwijn for selection after his move to Saudi Arabia.
Former winger Bergwijn completed a £21million transfer from Ajax to Al Ittihad on Monday – a switch Koeman claims is based on money.
“The book is basically closed to him,” said Koeman. “He knows what I think about this.
“When you are 26, your main ambition should be sporting, not financial. These are choices that players make.
