Liverpool and Man City keeping an eye on Crystal Palace midfielder Wharton

Wharton made a dramatic move to Palace in January following his time at Blackburn Rovers. His immediate success with the team caught the attention of England, earning him a spot in the squad for the Euros.

The Daily Mail says Palace will face a battle this winter market to keep hold of the youngster.

Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle United are all watching Wharton's progress.

And also in the mix are Bayern Munich, which tried for Wharton over the summer.
