MusaAston Villa Eye Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott Amid Transfer Interest
Aston Villa have expressed interest in Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott, who has been a rotational figure at Anfield in recent seasons. The 22-year-old’s impressive performances for England at the U21 European Championships have caught the attention of several clubs, with Villa emerging as a potential suitor.
With the young playmaker fresh off a trophy-winning campaign at the Euros, his future at Liverpool remains uncertain. The Reds are expected to evaluate his situation, especially as Villa weigh up a move to bolster their attacking options.
Villa’s Attacking Reinforcements a Priority
Unai Emery’s side are in need of additional firepower ahead of the new season, particularly with Marco Asensio yet to return from his loan at PSG. Elliott, a former Fulham academy product, could be an ideal target, offering Premier League experience and a hunger for regular first-team football.
However, former Brentford boss Martin Allen believes Liverpool should retain Elliott to maintain squad depth, especially with European commitments next season.
“He’d be a great signing for Villa—a talented player who makes an impact whenever he plays,” Allen told Villa News. “But Liverpool may hesitate to sell, given the demands of multiple competitions. Elliott is a game-changer off the bench and a positive presence in the dressing room.”
Liverpool Could Block Villa’s Move
Following his standout displays at the U21 Euros—where he registered five goals in six appearances—Elliott’s stock has risen significantly. Villa may see him as a shrewd addition, but new Liverpool manager Arne Slot could yet veto any departure.
The coming weeks will reveal whether Villa can secure the versatile attacker or if Liverpool opt to keep him as part of their plans for the season ahead.
