Tottenham are not deterred by Crystal Palace’s £100 million asking price for key target Adam Wharton, with Thomas Frank pushing for the move.

According to Give Me Sport, Tottenham are eager to land ambitious targets this summer, and they are not deterred by Adam Wharton’s potential £100 million asking price. Thomas Frank is keen to land the Crystal Palace midfielder to improve his side, although any potential deal is not expected to be straightforward.

Tottenham are moving with intent in the transfer market, and they have already hinted at their ambitions ahead of the new season. The arrival of Thomas Frank has brought in fresh ideas, with the emphasis placed on recruitment that will drastically improve the current squad.

Spurs have already signed Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United, and while their deal for Morgan Gibbs-White has hit a stumbling block, they are expected to revive the move soon. Frank also wants a holding midfielder in the ranks as the future of Yves Bissouma is being called into question, while the club are seeking an upgrade on Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Matar Sarr.

Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich has been linked, with the Portuguese midfielder likely to bring vast experience and Premier League know-how to Spurs. Douglas Luiz is another name mentioned recently, but none of those options are seen as the top target.

Adam Wharton is their priority target if he were achievable, with Frank pushing to sign the Crystal Palace midfielder for this summer. Spurs have shown the financial capability to get deals done for players like the one-cap England international, who may have a nine-figure price tag on him.

Adam Wharton is a key target for Tottenham

Tottenham are not deterred by the £100 million price point reportedly stated by Crystal Palace for Wharton. The Eagles feel the midfielder has the potential to be at the level of Arsenal’s Declan Rice, who did cost £105 million two years ago, and are intent on asking for a similar price.

Tottenham view Adam Wharton as a long-term option for their midfield and are not afraid to spend big to land the £100 million-rated whizkid. For now, any deal could be complicated given Wharton has four years left on his deal at Palace, which certainly will not make any move straightforward.
