Fichajes claims that Wharton is “very close” to joining Liverpool. With three caps under his belt, the England international has been an important member of the Eagles lately. He has a contract with Selhurst Park up to the summer of 2029.

The man, who was born in Lancashire, helped the Eagles defeat Manchester City in the Wembley FA Cup final last year, defying all odds under Oliver Glasner.
