Crystal Palace have completed the £22.5million signing of midfielder Adam Wharton from Blackburn Rovers.
The deal is worth £18.5m plus £4m in add-ons for the 19-year-old who is signing a five-and-a-half year contract at Selhurst Park in a significant move for the club.
Wharton told the club's official website: 'I've always wanted to play in the Premier League and to play for such a big club like Crystal Palace is a great honour.
'The way they've brought players from the Championship and developed them into world-class players in the Premier League is something that stood out to me, and it's a big reason why I wanted to come here.
