Adam Wharton has insisted he can be the answer to England's midfield problems ahead of their final group match at the European Championship.

The former Blackburn Rovers midfielder is yet to feature in Germany despite the Three Lions' obvious problems in the centre of the park.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's shift into the middle has brought contrasting results, with Gareth Southgate even labelling it as an 'experiment'. It feels inevitable that changes will be made, as a result, for Tuesday's final group match against Slovenia.

The clamour for Wharton to play alongside Declan Rice has grown, with Ian Wright recently calling for the Crystal Palace man to be included.

Wharton himself believes he's ready and insisted he can solve England's midfield conundrum if called upon.

“I don’t really look at it or think about it," he said when asked about Southgate's comment about a lack of alternative to Kalvin Phillips.

"I just play how I play and I know that if I do that then I can help the team get forward, move the ball down the pitch, beat the press, that kind of stuff.

‌“I don’t necessarily look at myself being ‘special’ or anything like that. It’s just the way I play. If I was to describe my game I would just say ‘It’s pretty simple but effective.’ 

If you’ve got great players in attack, like the (Jude) Bellinghams, the (Phil) Fodens, then you have to get them in the pockets.

‌“All I want to do if you’ve got players like that is give them the ball because that’s when they come alive to produce bits of magic, create chances, score goals, things like that.”

Wharton isn't phased by much and the prospect of being thrown into the mix this summer wouldn't fall into that category either.

 “I think I’ve got the belief that no matter who, where, when I play football, that I can affect a game - so I think you have to think like that," he added.

‌“If I think I can’t handle this, then what am I doing here? The way I look at it now, I believe I can affect any game I play in so I am just making sure I am ready if I am called upon to help.

“I think I have always been been confident in my ability because, for me, I try and live the game in my head as much as with my feet, whether that is making a movement to move the opposition so someone else can get the ball or trying to think a couple of passes ahead so when I do get the ball, I already know where I am going to play. 

"If people think that is special then maybe it is but for me, it is just normal.”
