"I've been very impressed with Wharton. I've watched him, and I saw him play against Everton the other week. He was a very impressive man of the match for me. I think you're looking at about a 150m type player for Palace. I think there's no doubt he's the right age. He's definitely going to be an England star. I think he'll feature pretty heavily in the World Cup in America next year."
"Liverpool need a quality midfielder like him to support Ryan Gravenberch. They are lacking in defensive cover in the middle of the park, and Wharton could provide that. The England international will add control and composure to the side from the deep as well. His arrival will allow players like Alexis Mac Allister to operate with more freedom. The player has the potential to develop into a world-class performer in the Premier League, and Liverpool would do well to secure his signature."
Adam Wharton, a 21-year-old Crystal Palace midfielder, has drawn interest from Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United and is valued at about £150 million. Observers praise his control, composure and defensive qualities from deep, projecting him as an England star with potential World Cup involvement. Palace are unlikely to sell an elite young talent easily, given his rapid development and room for improvement. Wharton could provide defensive midfield cover, support Ryan Gravenberch and free attacking teammates like Alexis Mac Allister. Liverpool have shown willingness to spend for the right players and may consider a major bid.
