While Liverpool marched on to secure the Premier League title, Elliott was left looking from the outside in. Now, with reports from journalist Danny Gallagher suggesting Liverpool have looked into the logistics of using Elliott as a makeweight in a £70 million partial swap deal for Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, Elliott finds himself at a massive career crossroads.

Harvey Elliott deserves the time to prove his worth to Liverpool under new head coach Andoni Iraola. While senior journalists like Pete O’Rourke report that Liverpool’s interest in Wharton has faded recently with Iraola prioritising a new right-winger over the Palace midfielder the fact that Elliott’s name was on the chopping block at all is telling.

As Elliott himself noted back in 2022: “There’s no better place to be [than Liverpool]. Elliott loves Liverpool, possesses a brilliant relationship with the fanbase, and has thrived under a high-intensity manager like Klopp before Give the lad his pre-season, let Iraola run the rule over him, and let Elliott prove he still has a massive role to play in this new Anfield era.
