Crystal Palace has successfully secured the services of midfielder Adam Wharton from Blackburn Rovers. The transfer involves an initial fee of £18 million, with the potential to reach £22 million based on certain conditions. 

This exciting addition to the team reflects Crystal Palace's commitment to strengthening their squad.

Adam Wharton has successfully inked a five and a half year contract with Crystal Palace.

Wharton played for Blackburn Rovers and made 26 appearances this season, scoring two goals. 

Crystal Palace tried to buy him for £18.5 million last week, but the deal didn't work out. However, they've now reached an agreement.

Adam Wharton expressed his excitement about playing in the Premier League and for a big club like Crystal Palace. He mentioned that Palace's track record of bringing Championship players to the Premier League and turning them into top players attracted him to join the team. 

Wharton spent most of his life at Blackburn, joining at the age of six, so leaving was a tough decision for him. 

Palace's chairman, Steve Parish, praised Wharton's quick development and believes the club is the right place for him to reach his full potential.

In addition to Adam Wharton, Crystal Palace has also signed defender Daniel Munoz from Genk for £6.8 million in the January transfer window.
