If Liverpool are wanting to be seen as one of the best clubs in the world, they need to have at least two world-class players in every position.
And, for the most part, they've managed to do this but, with things such as injuries coming into play, some cracks are starting to show.
As mentioned, Wharton has long been linked with an Anfield switch and, to be honest, many fans are likely expecting him to join the club over the next couple of years.
However, with the number of players that Crystal Palace have moved on recently, it seems like Slot and Richard Hughes could have their eyes on an even better defensive midfielder than the Englishman.
Over the last couple of days, links with Liverpool and Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga have emerged and, even though the Frenchman is likely to cost far more than Wharton would, his experience at the highest level would be invaluable.
The fact that the former Rennes wonderkid can play almost anywhere across the pitch is also a massive selling point in this day and age.
His favoured roles are left-back and defensive-midfield, so, if Robertson does leave in the summer, Camavinga could slot right in.
