Harvey Elliott has been told to hold crunch talks with Arne Slot to get clarity over his Liverpool future.

He made just 18 Premier League appearances last season during Slot’s maiden title-winning season, primarily off the bench, which confirmed his status as a substitute under the Dutchman.

That alerted other clubs to his potential availability, with both West Ham and RB Leipzig reportedly interested in acquiring the attacking midfielder’s services.



Still, the player is unlikely to be happy with his lack of involvement so far this season.

He has played just seven minutes of football: six minutes in the Community Shield defeat to Crystal Palace and only one minute against Newcastle, where he played a role in the build-up to Rio Ngumoha’s last-gasp winner.

Mowbray, who briefly managed Elliott during his loan spell at Blackburn in 2020/21, has no doubts over the quality the player possesses.

The years start rolling by and it’s okay being a bit-part player at Liverpool but… maybe he’s waiting for Salah to move on, I don’t know.”

Another former Premier League boss, Sam Allardyce, interjected: “He should know whether the manager fancies him or not.

If it’s not good enough for him, the games he’s going to play between now and the January transfer window should tell him whether he should be staying at Liverpool or whether he should leave.”

Elliott earlier this summer played a starring role in the England U-21s, winning the European Championship again, earning a player of the tournament honour.

He has since been open about his status at Liverpool, telling The Anfield Wrap while on tour in Asia: "If I had it my way I would be here for the rest of my career, it's as simple as that.

"I love everything about the club, but at the same time I kind of need to be selfish and see what's best for me.
