Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are interested in signing Liverpool attacker Harvey Elliott during the summer window.
The 22-year-old struggled with regular match times at Liverpool last season, and they are ready to offer him an exit route. The British stood out at under 21 euros earlier this summer, and was one of the best players in the tournament.
He needs to play regularly to meet his incredible potential. Staying in Liverpool may be detrimental to his development. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham and Newcastle will be able to make the deal. According to former Premier League scout Mick Brown, the two clubs approach his agent on potential moves.
Harvey Elliott is a player in demand
“I’m not interested in Harvey Elliott,” he told Soccer Insider.
“Newcastle and Tottenham are the latest names I’ve heard, and both will test the water and see what it takes to take him.
“They talk to his agent and find out what he wants and what Liverpool wants.
“Then he’s seen him at Brighton and some clubs in Germany.
“He’s such a talented player, so I think he can be an asset to one of these clubs.”
Liverpool players need a new start
It will be interesting to see if Elliot is willing to join Tottenham and Newcastle this summer. He is a Liverpool fan as a boy, but he needs to move on in search of regular train times. Tottenham or Newcastle can offer regular opportunities for Elliott. You need more creativity and cutting edge in the last third. The 22-year-old can run not only on the side but also on the central side. His versatility is an extra bonus. He was a very useful player for Liverpool, but he needs to join a club where he can play regularly.
If he can fulfill his potential, he has plenty of opportunities to play for elite clubs in the future. Newcastle and Tottenham will be able to offer Champions League football next season, which will make them an attractive destination. Elliott is valued at £40 million this summer.
