One of the Premier League's most sought-after players is reportedly very likely to join Liverpool, the "Reds."
On 22 Jan 2026 GMT+7, Spanish media outlet Fichajes reported that Liverpool has become the leading candidate to acquire Adam Worrall, the English midfielder of the "Eagles," Crystal Palace, to strengthen their squad.
At 21 years old, Worrall has emerged as one of the Premier League's most promising midfielders, impressing during his time at Crystal Palace. Numerous clubs in England and Europe are keen to sign him to bolster their midfield. With Crystal Palace's manager Oliver Glasner set to depart at season's end, several key players, including Worrall, are considering transfers. One player, Marc Guehi, has already moved to Manchester City.
Recent reports indicate Liverpool is among the clubs interested in Worrall, while Crystal Palace is open to letting him go. However, as Worrall's contract with Palace runs until 2029, the club hopes to command a transfer fee as high as £65 million.
Additionally, reports state that Liverpool is now the frontrunner to secure Worrall, with the club's board confident they can persuade him to move to Anfield. They are prepared to offer a project that would make him a long-term key player for the team.
Worrall is praised as one of the Premier League's best midfielders, known for his exceptional agility in receiving the ball from defense and quickly initiating attacks, making counterattacks highly effective. He was part of the Crystal Palace squad that won the FA Cup in the 2024-25 season.
