Crystal Palace are closing in on a major signing that may help them avoid relegation.

The Hammers are thrashing out a £22 million deal to sign Blackburn midfielder Adam Wharton.

Per The Standard, the 19-year-old has been told that he can travel to London for his medical.

Palace are very keen on the England Under-20 star and believe he can shine in the Premier League.

As they are only five points above the relegation zone, manager Roy Hodgson wanted winter reinforcements.

The club are delivering in the form of Wharton, while other moves may also be on the cards.
