Blackburn wonderkid Adam Wharton ‘set to snub Premier League interest to stay at hometown club’ after 18-year-old’s impressive breakthrough for Jon Dahl Tomasson’s men

Blackburn Rovers' newest young star Adam Wharton is ready to snub Premier League interest and stay with his hometown club.

The 18-year-old only made his professional debut last month, but according to The Sun he's already caught the eye for Jon Dahl Tomasson's team.

Wharton made his Rovers bow in their 4-0 Carabao Cup win against Hartlepool in August, starting alongside his brother Scott, after both came through the Blackburn academy.
