‘He is a Villa Player’

Although bringing Harvey Elliott again from his mortgage spell at Aston Villa appears the very best answer for all events, Arne Slot has once more shut down speak of a return to Liverpool.

Elliott has not performed for Aston Villa since 4 minutes off the bench towards Feyenoord on October 2 – which means he has now missed virtually three months of soccer.

That’s regardless of the 22-year-old being totally match, with Villa head coach Unai Emery merely not choosing him, extensively believed to be because of the £35 million purchase clause which might be triggered if Elliott performs 10 video games.

With Elliott frozen out at Villa and Liverpool more and more wanting choices in each midfield and assault, the plain resolution would seemingly be terminating the deal early.

Will Liverpool recall Harvey Elliott from Aston Villa?

However Slot continues to refuse any hypothesis over Elliott rejoining his squad.

“No, Harvey is an Aston Villa participant and he’s speculated to be going there for a season,” he informed reporters on Tuesday when requested if he had explored the potential of bringing his No. 19 again.

“Any questions on him, the very best particular person to ask is at Villa. However they’re doing rather well, by the best way.”

This comes after Slot’s earlier feedback on the scenario on December 5, when he revealed he had not spoken with Elliott throughout his time at Villa bar a quick change earlier than he performed towards the Liverpool coach’s former membership.

“I haven’t had contact with him lots,” he stated on the time.

“I feel solely a few times, and that was earlier than and after he performed Feyenoord away. However that had extra to do with he performed towards a former membership of mine.

“So no, I haven’t spoken to him.

“I’m conscious of his scenario, after all. I knew how tough it already was for him over right here, so I feel I understand how he feels on this second.

“However yeah, it is best to ask these questions at Villa and never over right here when it’s about his enjoying time over there.”
