After losing out on Harvey Elliot to Aston Villa in the summer transfer window, Liverpool are reportedly looking forward to finding a replacement for the English midfielder. Elliott was under contract with Liverpool for the last six years, and he had been one of the most impactful subs during his Liverpool career.
But being a player of his standard, he wanted more first team action, which Liverpool were failing to offer him. With a stacked team, it was really difficult for him to get regular first team football. So he finally decided to move as multiple teams remained interested in the 22 year old, according to reports.
Tottenham Hotspur is potentially planning to hijack Morgan Rogers
Ultimately, it was Aston Villa Football Club who were able to secure the signature of Elliott. He joined the English Giants on a season long loan deal, and they also have the option to buy him next season for a reported fee of £35 million. Presently, it looks like Villa will definitely end of buying him by the end of this season.
Morgan Rogers has been active at Aston Villa since last year
But Liverpool failed to promote a new name as his replacement. It was reported earlier that they were looking forward to signing Morgan Rogers of Aston Villa. The 23 year old got his English international call-up last season, and he has been extremely impressive for Villa ever since joining the club last season.
Aston Villa brought Harvey Elliot on loan this season
But recent reports from TEAMtalk suggest that Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in signing Morgan Rogers as a fix to their midfield issues. Spurs had been quite active in the transfer market last summer, and they went through a complete transition. Their new manager, Thomas Frank, is doing a pretty well job so far.
The signing of Morgan Rogers can definitely boost their chances of having a better finish this season. Last year, they won the Europa League but also had the worst finish in the league in nearly 50 years. They have made a number of excellent signings in the summer, and adding Rogers in the winter will be the cherry on the cake.
