Wharton could change Liverpool
He could be the ideal midfielder for Liverpool. His addition also allows Liverpool to use Ryan Gravenbirch in his natural role. Although he has played in a defensive midfield role with the Dutch national team, he is more suited to central midfield.
Crystal Palace won’t want to lose a great talent like him so easily and will likely command a premium. If Liverpool want to get a deal done, they will need to go bankrupt. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
