Harvey Elliott has been linked with a summer move away from Liverpool, and Newcastle United are preparing a move for him.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Harvey Elliott is on the radar of Newcastle United, and they are hoping to get the deal done in the coming weeks. Liverpool want £50 million for him, and it will be interesting to see if the Magpies are willing to pay up.
The Tyneside outfit could use more creativity and technical ability in the final third, and the 22-year-old would be the ideal acquisition. He is versatile enough to operate as an attacking midfielder as well as a wide player. The Englishman will add goals and creativity to the Newcastle United attack.
The English youth international has struggled for game time at Liverpool, and he needs to move on in search of regular playing time. Elliott needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and the situation has left him frustrated. Sitting on the bench at Liverpool is unlikely to benefit him. If Newcastle United are prepared to provide him with the opportunity, joining them could be ideal for him.
Harvey Elliott needs game time
There is no doubt that Elliott is a prodigious talent with a bright future. He has proven his quality in the Premier League with Liverpool during his cameos. The Englishman needs more opportunities to develop further and fulfil his potential. Liverpool might not be able to provide him with the platform he needs right now.
It will be interesting to see if Newcastle United are willing to pay the asking price for the player. £50 million might be a steep valuation for Elliot right now, but he can establish himself as a reliable Premier League performer. He could justify the investment in the long run.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are also lacking in creativity and depth in the attacking unit. Selling the talented young playmaker would force them to bring in quality alternatives. It will be interesting to see if they can improve their attacking unit during the summer transfer window. They have been overly dependent on Mohamed Salah, and the Egyptian needs more help in the final third.
