Harvey Elliott’s lack of game time under Arne Slot at Liverpool has ‘alerted’ Borussia Dortmund and Brighton to make a potential move for him either in January or the summer.
Elliott has started one game this season, the Carabao Cup quarter-final win over Southampton, in which he scored, with eight substitute appearances besides totalling just 57 minutes.
The English Under-21 missed part of the season with a foot injury but remains compatible with most, and his lack of time to bet now reportedly “has made a number of Premier League and Bundesliga clubs realise his potential availability”, according to Lyall Thomas, a journalist for Sky Sports.
He says that “the option of leaving is greater due to his few minutes”, with Borussia Dortmund – willing to repeat the good luck they had in the past by signing the young English talent – and Brighton, the two clubs indicated as the ones he monitors. the situation.
The 21-year-old was used both on the right wing and in the No.10 role under Jurgen Klopp, but Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones are currently proving significant barriers to a spot in the first XI.
Elliott told The Times this week that he’s aware he has to perform when given the chance to stake his claim in his preferred spot.
“I feel like that’s my most powerful point, especially in terms of the creative side of things and the creation of the game,” said Elliott, who left Fulham for Merseyaspect in 2019. “That’s the position I play in England and I feel like I can show my qualities. But on top of that, we have two other world-class No. 10s: Curtis and Dom.
“This is not going to be easy at all. It’s just about waiting for my moment, my opportunities and my exit to capture them with everything I have. At the most sensible part of that, when they bring me in, whether as a replacement or anywhere where be a starter, I just need to go out there to contribute to the team and be the most productive player I can be.
Elliott also said he enjoyed directing Slot and the Dutchman’s attention to detail.
“It’s very undeniable and to the point, which I personally think is what you want,” Elliott says. “If you don’t do it in practice or in games, or if there’s something you want to paint on, he’ll tell you. ” .
“For me, that’s how I’ve been brought up. If it wasn’t my dad telling me, my dad would tell the coaches when I was younger to try to make me the best possible player. All the players have meetings. We sit through clips of the games where we could have done better but also look at what we’ve done well.
“I feel like that’s where they have a great balance. The staff will tell you what you need to improve on, but they’ll also give you a bigger and better compliment as well. So it’s not all walking out of the room upset and annoyed. It’s a mixed conversation, where you’re getting negatives and positives. You can come away with it feeling healthy.”
