Harvey Elliott could be on the move this summer, with Leeds United reportedly among the clubs interested in signing the Liverpool midfielder.

According to Sports Boom, the 23-year-old is expected to leave Anfield permanently as Liverpool prepare to reshape their squad ahead of next season.

Elliott spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, who reportedly held an option to sign him outright. However, the Midlands side are understood to have decided against turning the move into a permanent deal, leaving the playmaker searching for a new destination.

Liverpool are believed to value Elliott at around €30-35 million, with Leeds emerging as one of the clubs keeping a close eye on his situation.

Leeds could offer Elliott the fresh start he needs

The newly-promoted side are keen to strengthen during the summer transfer window and view Elliott as a player capable of adding creativity and versatility to their squad.

Comfortable operating as an attacking midfielder or out wide, Elliott has shown flashes of quality during his time at Liverpool, contributing 15 goals and 21 assists for the Reds across all competitions.

A move to Elland Road could offer the regular first-team football he has struggled to secure at Liverpool and Villa.

At this stage of his career, consistent Premier League minutes may be exactly what the England youth international needs to continue his development and fulfil his potential.

Competition for Elliott’s signature

Leeds are not the only side monitoring the midfielder’s availability.

The report adds that Ipswich Town, Sunderland, Coventry City and Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig are also keeping tabs on Elliott as he weighs up his next move.

With Liverpool seemingly prepared to sanction a permanent sale, attention will now turn to whether one of Elliott’s suitors is willing to meet the club’s valuation and offer him a key role moving forward.

It will be a real pity to see Elliott leave. He was a player that Jurgen Klopp adored and got the best out of. It’s a shame that Arne Slot does not see his value, especially after the four goals and 14 assists he managed in Klopp’s final season at the club.
