Liverpool like Adam Wharton but will need to look elsewhere with it yet to be reported that the Reds are willing to pay Crystal Palace’s asking price. According to journalist David Lynch, Wharton is a player of interest to Liverpool but it’s not clear yet if he is a player that fits Iraola’s vision for Liverpool based on their current squad.

“What I can say again in terms of my understanding on Wharton is I know for a fact they’ve[Liverpool] liked him for a while. It’s all about what Crystal Palace want,” Lynch added, before continuing: “I know he’s been a long-term target, but I don’t know whether Liverpool consider him a good fit for Iraola football.” Iraola plays a frantic, high-paced football with a high emphasis on winning second balls and high pressing.

It’s a very aggressive and front-foot approach, but it’s exactly what Liverpool fans were crying out for during the mundane style of football since Arne Slot’s second season. However, is Wharton the biggest midfield need Liverpool have right now?
