Liverpool have already spent over \u00a3450million trying to improve their ranks this summer. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Arne Slot\u2019s first-team squad<\/a> have had a massive overhaul, with several members of the Reds\u2019 team still needing to get to their best. <\/p>\n

Indeed, they\u2019re currently sitting second in the Premier League<\/a> table, but with the form they\u2019ve shown in their last three games, it feels like a lot more could come from the Anfield<\/a> outfit. <\/p>\n

Despite the massive amount of spending, there are still a couple of areas that look a tad weaker than most fans would like them to. <\/p>\n

Of course, you can\u2019t have two of the best players in the world in every position on the pitch, but when the opportunity is there to improve their ranks, there\u2019s no reason why Liverpool<\/a> shouldn\u2019t at least explore their options. <\/p>\n

Sami Mokbel backs Liverpool to sign Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace<\/p>\n

Adam Wharton<\/a> has been one of the Premier League\u2019s best defensive midfielders over the last couple of years. <\/p>\n

Several clubs, such as Manchester United, and Liverpool have shown an interest in him<\/a> over the last few years, with his talents even being compared to those of N\u2019Golo Kante<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Every time he steps onto the pitch, he helps Crystal Palace\u2019s defensive line stay rock solid with his range of passing, also able to link their attacks up more often than not. <\/p>\n

Even though The Eagles are said to want around \u00a375million<\/a> to prise him away from Selhurst Park, that hasn\u2019t stopped Sami Mokbel from saying that the Reds are said to have \u2018big interest\u2019 in the midfielder.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of Liverpool\u2019s interest, I\u2019m reliably informed that there is a big interest in Adam Wharton for next summer,\u201d he said on the Born N\u2019 Red Podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019ll have to wait and see how that plays out. Liverpool have had a very heavy summer of spending.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think what we do know next summer that it certainly won\u2019t be as heavy as this summer, and they might have to be a bit more selective in terms of the number of players that they go for.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if they are going for a number six, a central midfielder, a dictator of play, then as I understand it, Adam Wharton will be pretty high on those list of options for Liverpool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adam Wharton signing for Liverpool would be a massive statement of intent<\/p>\n

Over the years, clubs like Manchester City and Real Madrid have had wonder teams with each outfit having at least two world-class players for every position. <\/p>\n

And, although the last couple of seasons have been a bit better for Liverpool in that sense, they\u2019ve still not had two world-class players for every position among their ranks. <\/p>\n

However, if they do end up trying to sign Wharton in the summer, then they\u2019d be one step closer. <\/p>\n

Wharton and Ryan Gravenberch are arguably two of the Premier League\u2019s best<\/a> defensive midfielders. <\/p>\n

Both would more than deserve to start for any team in England\u2019s top flight, but if the Reds managed to have both at the same time, it would be an unreal bit of business for them. <\/p>\n

It would also make a massive statement of intent and show the world that Slot\u2019s<\/a> men were here to stay and compete for every title possible. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s hoping that a move comes to light in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool have already spent over \u00a3450million trying to improve their ranks this summer.
