Crystal Palace agree £22.5m fee for Blackburn midfielder Adam Wharton with the 19-year-old set for a medical on Wednesday ahead of a record sale for the Championship side

Blackburn Rovers midfielder Adam Wharton will undergo a medical this morning ahead of completing his £22.5million move to Crystal Palace.

The clubs agreed on an £18.5m fee with a further £4m in add-ons for the England Under-20 international on Tuesday morning and the 19-year old has travelled to London to complete proceedings before signing a five and half year deal.

Palace presented an improved bid after having an £18.5m offer rejected last week.

Blackburn also want to keep Wharton on loan but the 19-year-old is willing to leave now.

Wharton, who has been at the club since the age of six, signed a deal in December which will keep him at Blackburn until the end of the 2027-28 season.
