Adam Wharton: Does the Crystal Palace Midfielder Solve Arne Slot’s Problems?
One of Liverpool big wahala this season na their inability to play out from the back after Trent Alexander-Arnold waka go Real Madrid.
Of the starting back four, only Virgil van Dijk fit play line-breaking passes from deep areas, and lack of controller for midfield don make Reds easy to press.
Wharton’s strongest point na him ability to carry ball from defence and move possession quickly go forward line, and the Englishman passing range fit help attackers like Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak.
The 21-year-old no too physically imposing, and that fit be concern because Liverpool dey struggle to win second balls when opponents dey play long passes.
But Arne Slot fit fix many of the team’s wahala without ball with better press and compact shape, meaning any wahala with Wharton for midfield fit reduce.
Could Alexis Mac Allister Be Sold in the Summer Transfer Window?
Alexis Mac Allister fit be the best midfielder for Premier League in 2024-25, as him performances help team win the title.
But the Argentine dey struggle to reach same level this season, and him form dey concerning as e don get enough time to recover from injury wey make am miss pre-season.
The 26-year-old don dey linked with clubs like Real Madrid, and the matter of him transfer fit come up quick as e go get two years left on him contract by end of season.
If Liverpool sign controlling midfielder, to think about selling Mac Allister fit make sense, especially if better offers dey on table.
