He usually puts his foot through the ball when needed and is a tidy passer of the ball as well.<\/p>\n<p>The English sensation can chip in by scoring and creating the odd goal for his team. He is already quite familiar with the <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/\">Premier League<\/a> and won\u2019t take much time to adjust to life at<a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/liverpool\/\"> Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Wharton would add more bite and steel to Arne Slot\u2019s midfield. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the Merseyside club.<\/p>\n<p>At 21, Wharton has got the potential to be a future star in English football.
