Adam Wharton has become Tottenham Hotspur’s ‘priority target’ for the midfield this summer following Manchester City’s interest in Sandro Tonali.
Tottenham are targeting a move for Tonali right now; however, they could be about to face strong competition from Manchester City for him.
👀 How would you react if Tottenham pulled off a deal to sign Sandro Tonali?
Is there a better midfield signing for Spurs than the Italian?
The North London club are keen to bolster their midfield option this summer, and signing a top midfielder is a key priority for them.
Tonali is near the top of their list, although Wharton is quickly emerging as another top target following his impressive campaign with Crystal Palace.
Tottenham make Adam Wharton a ‘priority target’
Tottenham have made Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton a ‘priority target’ for this summer, according to FlashScore.
The North London club are firmly in the race to sign the 22-year-old, despite Liverpool showing an interest in signing him.
Wharton is right near the top of their list of targets, alongside Tonali, but the England international is the player most want to bring to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Should Roberto De Zerbi’s side be alerted to the possibility of the midfielder being on the move, they could quickly accelerate their interest.
💰 Fill in the blank: Tottenham should pay no more than £__m for Savinho…
🤔 The 22-year-old managed just FOUR goals and THREE assists last season…
The youngster was not selected by England for the World Cup; therefore, a deal for him could be done in the near future.
Palace value Wharton at around £80 million, according to TEAMTalk, which could actually be good value, given Nottingham Forest want £120 million for Elliot Anderson.
Adam Wharton would be a better signing than Sandro Tonali
The Lilywhites could be forced to move for him instead after Manchester City started talks to sign Tonali, as reported by The Athletic.
Tonali is open to joining Tottenham, but with City now in the hunt to sign him, surely a move to the Etihad Stadium would appeal to him more.
Having to move for Wharton instead could actually be a blessing in disguise for Tottenham, as they could do with a deep-lying playmaker over a midfielder like Tonali.
Wharton is one of the top passing midfielders in the Premier League and, given his age and international status, could be the perfect long-term addition for Spurs’ squad.
