Harvey Elliot lands at Mestalla and says he knows the demands | OneFootball

Harvey Elliot has landed in Valencia, describing the move as very quick, and he is targeting European football with the club. He arrives at Mestalla with Barcelona due on Sunday.

According to AS, the Liverpool midfielder became Valencia’s eighth summer signing after arriving on Monday night, and will have a medical today. It is a straight loan with no fee or option, with Valencia to cover about 80 percent of his wages after Ron Gourlay raised an initial 50 percent offer.

Elliot said he is grateful for the chance, knows the club’s demands and will give everything. He was ready for the call and hopes to feature this weekend. He prefers to operate as a number 10 but will play anywhere, and he hopes to help the team return to Europe.

Valencia want his craft in the final third after a blunt start, with only nine shots across three league games and a single goal. Costly turnovers have also hurt, such as strikes from Pablo García for Betis at Mestalla and Aubameyang at Riazor. Umar Sadiq is sidelined with a hamstring problem for about two months.

The England Under-21 international has over 150 Premier League appearances with Liverpool, Fulham and Aston Villa, and sought guidance from Unai Emery and other Spaniards at Birmingham. Valencia still aim to add a winger, a striker and maybe a centre-back, though Elliot fills the last registration unless exits free space. André Almeida is set to stay, while Dani Raba and goalkeeper Rivero also remain.
