Playing style
Wharton operates as a quarterback from the base, his anticipation allowing him to intercept danger and recycle possession into dangerous areas. He's a ball-carrier through transition, using clean passing angles to spring attacking moves rather than forcing play. His game is about positioning and timing—he reads space and opposition shape with uncommon clarity for a young player.

An emerging talent whose defensive intelligence and creation from midfield have marked him as one to follow in the English system. He remains in ascent and tracking his development toward major tournament football will be worth close attention.
