Tottenham have entered the race for Crystal Palace’s 22‑year‑old England midfielder Adam Wharton. The North London club plans to submit a bid after weeks of scouting, hoping the player can add depth to a midfield that struggled for consistency last season. Wharton recorded five goals and seven assists, making him a target for several Premier League suitors.

Liverpool’s £87m offer for RB Leipzig’s 19‑year‑old Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande was rejected; Leipzig demand £113m, leaving the Reds to reassess their attacking options. Fulham’s £17m proposal for Trabzonspor’s Nigerian defender Chibuike Nwaiwu fell flat, prompting the club to explore new targets as it rebuilds its back line. The stalled deals highlight the growing price gap between Premier League clubs and their European counterparts.

Tottenham have ruled out a move for former Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood, while Roma struggle to meet Marseille’s price for the 24‑year‑old. Everton, Ipswich and the Spurs also chase Cameroon forward Karl Etta Eyong, who netted 12 goals for Levante, and Leeds eye Northern Ireland midfielder Shea Charles and free‑agent Julian Brandt. Wolves remain keen on bringing Che Adams back from Torino, confirming a busy summer transfer window.
