Crystal Palace ponder making a second bid for Blackburn Rovers midfielder Adam Wharton after Blackburn Rovers rejected an £18.5m offer for the 19-year-old

Crystal Palace are pondering a revised bid for Blackburn Rovers midfielder Adam Wharton.

Palace saw an offer around £18.5m rejected on Thursday and Rovers asked to keep Wharton on loan.

Rovers manager Jon Dahl Tomasson said: ‘There’s been an offer and the club has said no, which I like.’ 

The 19-year-old, who has been at the club since the age of six, signed a deal in December which will keep him at Blackburn until the end of the 2027-28 season. 

Having made his senior debut back in August 2022, Wharton has gone on to make 51 senior appearances for the club, featuring in all but two of their Championship matches this season, returning two goals. 

Roy Hodgson’s side had an £18.5million bid for the midfielder rejected earlier this week

Rovers boss Jon Dahl Tomasson has previously lauded the 19-year-old claiming ‘he can do things that nobody sees before’ 

Wharton has also attracted the attention of several other Premier League clubs, including Everton, Newcastle and Tottenham. 

Tomasson has previously lumped praise on the midfielder, stating: ‘He can do things that nobody sees before. He can play under pressure, one touch, and has great vision.’

The Blackburn academy graduate, who made his debut for England’s U20 side in November against Italy, has also been described as the next best English prospect outside of the top flight by Blackburn’s director of football Gregg Broughton. 

Wharton signed a contract extension back in December that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2027-28 season

Palace are also eyeing up a move for Genk right-back Daniel Munoz, who is valued at £10m
