Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott is now “set for talks” with Aston Villa over a possible change to his present settlement on the membership, in accordance with journalist Tom Collomosse.
The 22-year-old moved to Villa for the 2025/26 season final summer season, with Arne Slot making it clear that he didn’t contemplate him a key a part of his plans.
Elliott may have hoped to play a starring position within the Midlands, however as an alternative, he has endured a marketing campaign to neglect, beginning just one match within the Premier League for the Villans.
There have been rumours of the midfielder returning to Liverpool in January, however that ship has now sailed, following the shut of the window on Monday.
However there may nonetheless be a change to Elliott’s mortgage settlement at Villa between now and the top of the season, with Collomosse taking to X to assert as a lot:
“Villa and LFC set for talks over his mortgage association, which may occur after the deadline has handed. Present state of affairs doesn’t swimsuit both the participant or the golf equipment. Doable the looks goal is raised, or obligation (to purchase) turns into choice.”
Can Elliott resurrect his Liverpool profession this summer season?
Elliott is such a gifted younger footballer with a lot to supply, not least a wand-like left foot, with Jordan Henderson not holding again in his reward for him again in 2021:
“Harvey’s a particular participant. He’s been incredible final season when he was on mortgage at Blackburn after which he’s come again in nice form for pre-season and accomplished rather well, so he deserved his begin at the moment and I assumed he took it. I assumed he was excellent, his work charge, but additionally clearly the stuff he can do on the ball, the ultimate passes. General I assumed he was excellent.”
Whereas Liverpool may benefit from having Elliott again this summer season, when it comes to squad depth, he has reached some extent in his profession the place he must be a key starter for a workforce.
It’s tough to see that occuring at Anfield, particularly with Florian Wirtz now starting to purr in a Reds shirt, so a everlasting summer season exit is smart, unhappy although it could be to see him go away.
