Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson says the way midfielder Adam Wharton is dealing with his rapid rise is "fantastic".

The Eagles have four players in the England squad, the most of any club and with 20-year-old Wharton probably the most surprising inclusion.

He only made his Premier League debut in February and his professional bow two years ago.

Wharton has impressed in training, as well as in his first England appearance, and now has the chance to feature at a major tournament.

"Everything is going so fast for him," said Henderson, who is also part of Gareth Southgate's squad for Euro 2024.

"He's at the age where he's just taking everything in his stride. He's got a fantastic ceiling and hopefully he can reach that pretty soon."
