Speaking to Football Insider, O’Rourke again talked up Liverpool’s interest in Wharton ahead of the summer, but other top clubs are also in the mix and Champions League qualification could be vital: “There’s no doubt he’s going be on the radar of a number of clubs. “We know he is going to be the subject of transfer speculation this summer because of how well he is playing for Crystal Palace.

I think he’s admitted before that he sees himself playing Champions League football and wants to become a regular in the England squad as well. “He’s obviously one of the players who is on United’s list as they look to restructure their midfield next season as well.

There are a number of players that they are looking at, and Wharton is on that list.” Can Adam Wharton be Liverpool’s midfield solution? Liverpool’s midfield continues to be a huge issue, with Alexis Mac Allister a far cry from the influential figure he was in his first two seasons at Anfield.
