The England international is being tracked now by Europe's biggest clubs and speaking on the Men in Blazers podcast. Wharton explained how he picks a pass.
"I try and spot the play I'm going to make before I take possession," says Wharton. "So, then I don't have to think too hard when I get the ball.
"But I'm always looking to make a forward pass, if possible, try and help the team get up the pitch and create chances. Sometimes I've already seen it from looking, other times I just improvise.
"If I know what I'm going to do before I get the ball it's harder for the opposition to win the ball off me or read it if they don't have time to get there, so, if I've already seen the play, I can move it as quickly as possible."
On his partnership with centre-forward Jean-Philippe Mateta, Wharton also said: "The weight and the execution, sends the message in the pass.
"If I'm playing in behind (the defence) then pass it into the space, obviously, the message is to run onto it. If I'm fizzing it in hard, then the message is to take a touch, or if I roll it into space maybe message is to pass first time or shoot. Hopefully, overall, the message is 'I've made it easy for you, now finish it off'!
"JP makes a lot of runs in behind. So, if I see him make that run, my aim is to give it him in the space so he can run on and maybe hit it first time or as soon as possible. If it's to feet, then deliver it nice on the floor to either his left or right foot to try and tell him which way to turn or set."
