Premier League interest in Blackburn Rovers' rising star Adam Wharton is intensifying.

The Sun's Alan Nixon reports on Patreon that Everton, Brighton, Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester United all watched the 19-year-old last week in senior action for Rovers.

However, it is Crystal Palace which is showing the most concrete interest.

Palace chief Dougie Freedman has made personal checks on Wharton and a bid is being prepared

Rovers are said to be open to a sale as long as Wharton is loaned back to them for the season.
