Harvey Elliott has been urged to leave Liverpool after an alleged 'angry' response following the Reds' triumph over Newcastle United.

Despite being a key player in Jurgen Klopp's team last season, the England Under-21s star has struggled to make a significant impact this season, with only 17 appearances, 10 of which were in the Premier League and just four as a starter.

A foot injury sidelined him for three months early in the campaign, and since his return in December, he hasn't managed to secure a place in Arne Slot's starting eleven.



His last start against Plymouth Argyle saw him concede a penalty that led to Liverpool's surprising FA Cup exit, and since then, he's only made one brief appearance as a substitute against Manchester City.

With Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones and Dominic Szoboszlai blocking his path to his preferred central midfield position, and two of them being Slot's first choices alongside the revitalised Ryan Gravenberch, Elliott finds himself in a difficult situation.

After being benched for the 12th time this season during the Newcastle game, Tim Sherwood suggested that Elliott was visibly upset and recommended that the young player should consider leaving Anfield.

While appearing on Sky Sports' Gillette Soccer Special, the commentator remarked: "The trouble is for players like Harvey Elliott, I watched him and I was really impressed with what I saw.

"The other boys are coming onto the pitch, he's made five subs there, and still no Harvey Elliott and you know, he's not happy.

You know, that boy is not going to sit there and just not play.

"He will want to leave that football club, I know it's a brilliant club if he can fight his way into the team, but if he's not going to play on a regular basis."

"They've got players like that and you need players like that, who want to play and want to affect it.

At the moment, a top-quality player like him is sitting there and he's getting no game time."

He concluded: "If you don't play and listen, he would be happy picking up a trophy and a medal but in the end, he will want to contribute a lot more than what he's done."
