Rumour Mongering: Leipzig Target Harvey Elliott as Simons Replacement

Heading into the summer season switch window, the consensus was that 22-year-old Liverpool attacking midfielder Harvey Elliott was more likely to depart the membership searching for taking part in time after his alternatives turned restricted over supervisor Arne Slot’s first season in cost on the membership.

Early chatter targeted on a possible transfer to Bayer Leverkusen after Liverpool signed Florian Wirtz from them, however in the long run nothing stable materialized and there have been few stable hyperlinks within the weeks and months since. That, although, appears as if it might have modified.

For the primary time shortly, we’ve acquired Elliott chatter. And as soon as once more it’s out of Germany. This time round, although, the hyperlinks are to RB Leipzig, who’re in search of a possible substitute for Xavi Simons, who’s broadly anticipated to affix Chelsea earlier than the window closes.

Whereas the arrival of Wirtz put a barrier in entrance of Elliott at his most popular place, the Reds at the moment lack attacking depth typically and a few had questioned if boyhood Liverpool fan Elliott may in the long run keep due to that and earn minutes in a extra superior position.

If the chatter out of Germany is true, then it seems there’ll probably be no probability for a redemption ark for Elliott underneath Slot—whereas for Liverpool, another sale will in some methods solely spotlight the necessity to get no less than another main attacking signing throughout the road this month.
