Harvey Elliott's move out of Liverpool was pretty much imminent from the very first day of the transfer window, and multiple teams remained interested in the English midfielder. It is getting very difficult for Elliott to make the breakthrough in the Liverpool midfield as it is getting more and more stacked.
In the last number of years, Harvey Elliott has been quite impressive for Liverpool despite not getting enough chances to play. With the arrival of Florian Wirtz this season, it becomes even more difficult for the 22 year old to make the breakthrough in the Liverpool squad. A player of his standard is definitely too good to sit on the bench match after match.
Harvey Elliott joins Aston Villa on loan
This season, it was pretty much confirmed that the English midfielder is moving out of Liverpool Football Club. As already mentioned, multiple teams had been interested in signing Elliott, with the German giants RB Leipzig looking to be the favourite to land him. Reports suggest that talks were going on between the two sides.
Harvey Elliott has been active in Liverpool since 2019
The English side, Fulham, were also reported to be interested in signing Elliott. Liverpool stuck a £40 million transfer fee for the 22 year old. No doubt he had been a fan favourite and a large number of fans did not want him to leave; however, when the transfer deadline day arrived, it was pretty clear that he did not have any future left at Liverpool.
Aston Villa will have the option to buy him for £35 million next season
Aston Villa, one of the teams that had been struggling badly this season, finally came in search of the English midfielder. The English side so missed out on Champions League football last season, they are also performing poorly this season, as they have managed only 1 point in their for three fixtures.
The signature of Harvey Elliott can definitely boost the potential of Aston Villa, and they can also challenge for European football next season. Presently, he will move on loan for the rest of the season, and Aston Villa will also have an option to buy him permanently next season for a reported fee of £35 million. No doubt this has been an excellent deal for the English side.
