If Enzo Maresca decides to use Elliot Anderson as a number six in midfield, Manchester City will need to find players who can combine well with the strengths of the England international. Currently, City have Anderson, Mateo Kovacic, and Nico Gonzalez as recognised midfielders who could form a double pivot in midfield in their squad. Perhaps, Nico O'Reilly and Rico Lewis could also slot into this role. Manchester City are bidding to bolster their midfield this summer. Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton has now been named as a midfielder that City could potentially bid to sign. The strengths of Adam Wharton do look suited to playing in an Enzo Maresca side and alongside Elliot Anderson.
Two reports have named Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton as a potential target for Manchester City. First, Jack Rosser has reported for The Sun that the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders could consider a move for Adam Wharton. It is reported that Crystal Palace's price tag to sell Wharton is unknown. Rosser indicates that perhaps a package of up to £100 million could be Palace's asking price for the England international.
Ben Ransom has reported for Sky Sports that Adam Wharton wasn't included on a list of Manchester City's transfer targets for this summer but that stance has now softened, Ransom adds. Furthermore, Ransom reports that the expectation is that City will make a move to sign Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez. However, City's change in stance over a possible move for Adam Wharton shows that they could be moving onto other midfield targets.
If Manchester City want a midfielder who can possess a wide and elite range of passing alongside Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton could be that player. Wharton is blessed with elite vision with the ball and he scans the pitch exceptionally well before receiving possession. He can also make every pass in the book. Wharton can break open a game in an instant with his wand of a left foot. His ability to break the lines with a decisive ball is almost second to none in English football.
The fact that Wharton can do this with a first time ball or after one or two touches after receiving the ball could be ideally suited to an Enzo Maresca side. Maresca wants to play a possession-based style of football with the ability to play at a quicker tempo when required. Adam Wharton would fulfil this demand. Also, getting the ball out wide or in behind for Haaland is a key to Manchester City's attack. Wharton would also be perfect for this style of play.
