Could Palace's Wharton make Southgate's England squad?

Crystal Palace are celebrating their first league double over Manchester United, with Michael Olise rightly taking a lot of the praise after his two goals helped the Eagles to a 4-0 win.

But there is another player that many are speaking about after the game - Adam Wharton.

The 20-year-old signed for Crystal Palace from Championship side Blackburn for £18m, with add-ons taking it to £22m, on February 1 this year.

The transfer deadline day recruit had a difficult start in his first game for Palace. Introduced as a substitute against rivals Brighton, the ball was taken from him and in that move the Seagulls took a 3-0 lead.
