Not many people would’ve expected Tottenham Hotspur to be below Crystal Palace in the Premier League at this stage of the season.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have had an awful campaign so far, and things went from bad to worse after they crashed out of the Carabao Cup on Thursday.
The focus now will be on the FA Cup and the Europa League, while Postecoglou will also want to improve his position in the Premier League table.
But, talks are also going on about the summer transfer window, and two names have been earmarked for a potential move at the end of the season.
Tottenham want to sign Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace
Tottenham Hotspur’s focus recently has been on signing young, talented players.
The likes of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall have been huge hits this season, while Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel are exciting signings as well.
The North Londoners are keen to continue going down the same road, and they have identified two young targets for the next transfer window.
One of them is Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton.
The 21-year-old made a fantastic name for himself in the Premier League last season. He was brilliant for England too, with Eberechi Eze even calling him an “incredible player” following his Three Lions debut
Now, Football Transfers have claimed that Tottenham have held ‘internal’ talks about Wharton and are expected to push for his signature in the summer.
However, we’re sure a few other big clubs will be in the race to sign the midfielder as well, especially if he can replicate his form from last season for Crystal Palace in the coming months.
The other young English player Tottenham are pushing to sign
Paul Merson recently urged Tottenham to improve their midfield because the players they currently have there aren’t quite good enough.
Wharton would be an incredible addition to Postecoglou’s side, but he isn’t the only young English player Spurs want to bring in.
The report claims that Tottenham remain keen on Southampton’s Tyler Dibling and are expected to make a move to sign him too along with Wharton.
The youngster was considered in the winter window, but it was reported that Tottenham gave up after Southampton demanded a fortune for Dibling on deadline day.
It remains to be seen what his price tag will be in the summer.
