Harvey Elliott excited about transfer after manager talks | OneFootball

Harvey Elliott has held talks over a transfer and appears excited to make the move. Liverpool could be losing another one.

Harvey Elliott had a difficult campaign under Arne Slot last season. The then-new head coach did fancy him at the start of the season but injuries quickly derailed things.

That, unfortunately, has been a hallmark of Elliott's time at Anfield. He hasn't even been that injury prone, quite honestly - the injuries have just struck at the worst-possible times.

His first breakthrough into the first-team setup in 2021 started incredibly brightly and Jurgen Klopp had him in the starting XI. Then came the ankle injury against Leeds United that required surgery and the team's form over the second-half of the campaign meant Elliott was unable to break back in.

And so maybe it's wrong to blame injuries. The timing has just been off.

Elliott finally established himself as one of the team's most dangerous players late in the 2023/24 season. Then Klopp left and he needed to establish himself all over again.

He looked on course to do that but started last season with an injury. That made it near-impossible as Slot stuck rigidly to his preferred team.

It's no great surprise, then, that Elliott reportedly has excitement over leaving Liverpool.

Harvey Elliott and Tottenham Hotspur

Football Transfers reports that Tottenham Hotspur are eager to sign Elliott. They’re looking to replace James Maddison after his ACL injury.

Maddison has no real timeline on a recovery and Spurs need to find a new playmaker. Especially after Heung-min Son left for LAFC.

The report claims Elliott has already held discussions with Thomas Frank, who 'he pitched a vision of deploying the Liverpool attacking midfielder in the No.10 role’. Frank is apparently a big admirer of Elliott’s.

And in turn, Elliott 'is understood to be keen on securing regular first-team football and views a switch to Tottenham as an ideal opportunity to stake a claim for a place in England’s World Cup squad next year’. Spurs should certainly give him that as a UEFA Champions League side in desperate need of a player just like him.

Liverpool would apparently accept around £40m for Elliott - but would also want a buyback clause. We’ll see how talks go, then, as Spurs are accelerating things ahead of the season.

But on the face of it, this is exactly the kind of move Elliott needs to finally get his senior career on the right track.
