‘I’m not too interested in it’: Adam Wharton on possible links to clubs like Liverpool

However, despite all the links involving a big-club switch, the teenager is set to stay at Edwood Park the next season.

Moreover, while asked about a possible release clause, the midfielder told the Lancashire Telegraph that he didn’t know and ultimately didn’t care.

“Not that I am aware of. I am not a lawyer, I haven’t seen the ins and outs of the contract but I don’t think so [that there’s a release clause in his contract].”

While also being asked about interest from top division clubs, Adam claimed that he wasn’t interested in the rumour game.

“I think it’s something that comes part and parcel with being a footballer. Loads of players have to deal with that. I don’t tend to read much into that, a lot of the stuff you see online, you don’t even know if it’s true.

Most of the time, I find out on Twitter myself like everyone else. I am not too interested in it. I get on with my game, I am a Blackburn Rovers player and that’s what I am concentrated on. Speculation will come and go, whatever happens, happens. It won’t affect my game.”

Wharton extends Rovers’ contract

The teenager has now extended his stay at the Championship side and is set to stay until 2028. He is still a very young player but the professionalism he shows is pretty impressive.

Moreover, Wharton suggested that his level-headed approach is very much aided by his agent, Gregg Broughton.

“It’s really important [having a good agent], you see a lot of time where players make the wrong decisions or they are misguided.

He’s done a great job, he is constantly speaking with me and there is a plan there to improve and develop.

At the end of the day, I know how football works, I am not stupid. I know what is right and what’s wrong, I won’t make any stupid decisions to jeopardise my career.”

Although the midfielder is still young, he possesses the thought process required for a top professional.

Moreover, in this age and day where youngsters tend to quickly consider a big-club switch, it is good to see the youngster take it slow and easy.

However, he is surely a talent to keep tabs on and could be one for the future.
