Crystal Palace news

The Royals have been tracking the midfielder for some time now – but he’s now being tagged with a hefty price tag.

Manchester United are said to be one of Adam Wharton’s many suitors, with ex-Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison telling GOAL of a transfer fee that the Eagles would “bite your hand off” for. At 22 years of age, Blackburn academy graduate Wharton is far from being the finished article. He is, however, generating plenty of interest ahead of the summer window.

Manchester United legend Nicky Butt has weighed in on the club's midfield recruitment strategy as the Red Devils look to bolster their squad for a potential Champions League return. The former treble winner identified Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton and Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson as primary targets. Butt believes one of these Premier League-proven talents is the ideal candidate to liberate Kobbie Mainoo in a more advanced role.

Oliver Glasner has been informed that he may have talked himself out of contention for Manchester United’s managerial post, with the Crystal Palace boss receiving a “stepping stone” warning. The Austrian was considered to be a leading contender to take charge at Old Trafford following Ruben Amorim’s departure, but Clinton Morrison has told GOAL why a more scenic route to the top may have to be taken.

Declan Rice is being held up as the perfect role model for England international team-mate Adam Wharton, with the Crystal Palace midfielder having one obvious area of his game to address. The 22-year-old playmaker is considered to be one of the Premier League’s hottest prospects, but he is yet to score a goal for the Eagles. Clinton Morrison has addressed that shock statistic with GOAL and explained who Wharton needs to look at for inspiration.

Crystal Palace are considering a surprise move to appoint Andoni Iraola as their new manager this summer. With Oliver Glasner set to leave Selhurst Park at the end of the current campaign, the London club view the highly-rated Bournemouth boss as the ideal candidate to build upon their recent success, which includes securing European football and winning the FA Cup last year.

Arsenal defender William Saliba has officially withdrawn from the France squad for their upcoming friendly fixtures in the United States. The 24-year-old was forced to pull out just 24 hours after playing the full 90 minutes in the Gunners' Carabao Cup final defeat at Wembley. Consequently, Crystal Palace centre-back Maxence Lacroix has been handed his maiden senior call-up to replace the injured star.

Manchester United are reportedly plotting a daring summer raid for Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly as they look to solve their long-standing left-back issues. The 19-year-old Hale End graduate has struggled for consistent minutes at the Emirates Stadium this season after falling behind Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori in the pecking order. Consequently, the Red Devils have identified the versatile defender as a primary target for the upcoming transfer window.

Bournemouth face a fight to keep hold of head coach Andoni Iraola, with Athletic Club stepping up their pursuit of the Spaniard. With his contract expiring this summer, the 43-year-old is also attracting serious interest from Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace following a fine three-season spell at the Cherries.
