According to The Daily Mail, one name that Real Madrid is watching very closely is Adam Wharton. The 21-year-old Crystal Palace midfielder is developing very quickly and could leave the South London team this summer.

The report claims that Real Madrid chief scout Juni Calafat is a major admirer of Wharton, and the club has sent staff to watch him in action.

Wharton has endured a spell on the sidelines thanks to a hernia injury recently, but he is back in action for Palace and is expected to be named in Thomas Tuchel's first England squad this month.

His reputation in England means that Manchester United and Liverpool are also interested, while Manchester City has been linked in the past.

Wharton joined Palace from Blackburn Rovers for $28 million, but signing him this summer would likely cost around $89m.
