England midfielder Adam Wharton says being included in England’s 26-man squad for Euro 2024 is "surreal" and "a dream come true".

The 20-year-old only made his professional debut in August 2022 and was still playing in the Championship in January of this year.

He made an £18m move to Crystal Palace from boyhood club Blackburn Rovers and made his Premier League debut in February.

Wharton played a key part in the Eagles securing a 10th-place finish in the Premier League and his form for his club side meant he was included in Gareth Southgate’s 33-man training squad, making his debut against Bosnia-Herzegovina last week.
