Tottenham could use Blackburn Rovers’ advantage when competing against other teams like Newcastle and Liverpool.
Although the 19-year-old made his debut at the beginning of the previous season, he didn’t really find his footing until right before Christmas 2022. Even though injuries kept him from playing as much during that season, he has since established himself as one of the most intriguing young players in the Championship.
This season, Wharton has genuinely demonstrated his superiority as an EFL midfielder. Based on his average 7.07 Sofascore match rating, it appears that the midfield player will bring in a substantial amount of money for the Rovers.
Premier League teams vying for Adam Wharton’s signature
According to 90min.com, Tottenham Hotspur has apparently entered the competition to sign the 19-year-old. Brighton & Hove Albion, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are their opponents; all of them are referred to as “long-term admirers of the teenager.”
He is considered one of the league’s best young prospects. According to earlier reports from journalist Alan Nixon, the club is reportedly seeking a minimum of £20 million for the teenager, which seems reasonable given the young talent in the Championship.
According to Bristol Live, midfielder Alex Scott was sold by Bristol City to AFC Bournemouth for a sum of £25 million during the summer. If they are to let their star winger Jack Clarke go in January, Sunderland is hoping for a comparable price for him, who is also drawing interest from the Premier League.

With all of these major clubs involved, the competition to sign Wharton is sure to get intense. However, Tottenham may have an advantage over Blackburn in the race to sign the 19-year-old due to their previous relationship with the club.
With fifteen goals in ten games, Newcastle is about to sign a striker.
Newcastle is currently in seventh place in the Premier League, a little bit further back from first place than they might have preferred at this stage of the 2023–2024 campaign.
With the season only three quarters of the way done, Eddie Howe and his team still have plenty of time to go on a mini-run that should at the very least put them back in the running for Champions League spots.
Premier Injuries reports that as of this writing, Newcastle is without the services of eleven first-team players due to injuries, which has taken the Magpies off course.
Therefore, it’s evident that any wise additions made in January could significantly aid the Magpies in their push for success in the second half of the season. In light of this, it seems that one of the most sought-after striking assets in European football is still on the table.
Journalist Rudy Galetti has implied that the men from St. James’ Park have their sights set on Serhou Guirassy in Stuttgart in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Given that Newcastle has scored 15 goals in their first 10 Bundesliga games, it makes perfect sense that they would want to be included in that specific conversation.
As demonstrated by his goal against Paris Saint-Germain this week, Alexander Isak is also back in the scoring groove. According to 90Min, he could form a deadly tandem with Guirassy, who has a meager £15.2 million release clause.
