Crystal Palace's Bid Rejected
Premier League club Crystal Palace has had its £18.5 million bid for midfielder Adam Wharton rejected by Blackburn. The Eagles were hoping to bring in the 19-year-old player to fill the void left by Cheick Doucoure's injury. However, Blackburn is reportedly looking to keep Wharton at Ewood Park until the end of the season, which Palace cannot accommodate.
Pressure on Roy Hodgson
Crystal Palace is under pressure to strengthen its squad after winning just one of their last 12 games. The club is now considering whether to make an improved offer for Wharton. The pressure is mounting on manager Roy Hodgson as the team prepares to face Sheffield United next week.
Jon Dahl Tomasson's Comments
Blackburn boss Jon Dahl Tomasson confirmed that an offer had been made for Wharton, but the club turned it down. Tomasson praised Wharton's development and believes he has the potential to become an England player in the future.
Crystal Palace Looking for More Signings
In addition to Wharton, Crystal Palace is also targeting a right-back and a striker this month. Manager Roy Hodgson has stated that chairman Steve Parish and sporting director Dougie Freedman are working hard to bring in new players.
Fans Protest Against Club's Decisions
Crystal Palace fans expressed their dissatisfaction with chairman Steve Parish's decisions during the team's 5-0 defeat to Arsenal. The supporters staged a protest, claiming that the club is moving backwards under Parish's leadership.
