Liverpool star Harvey Elliott has been told to leave the club in search of regular first-team action after starring for England's Under-21s in the European Championship semi-final win over the Netherlands.

Elliott scored both goals as England recorded a 2-1 win to progress to the final against Germany on Saturday.

The 22-year-old is shining for his country off the back of a disappointing season on an individual level, with Elliott having barely figured for Liverpool as the team won the Premier League.

Elliott was making steady progress in his Liverpool career under Jurgen Klopp, but he made just two league starts under Arne Slot, both of which came after the Reds' status as champions was secured.

Former England player Gabby Agbonlahor believes that Elliott is at a stage in his career when he needs to be playing more frequently.

"He deserves to go and play and start week in, week out," Agbonlahor said.

I know it is hard to leave a big club like Liverpool but for him and the club, a move is perfect.

"I am sure Liverpool will look at it, and realize the fee has probably gone up for how good he has been [at the Euros].

He might not think he is too far off at Liverpool and go to a team fighting for Europe, or try a different league."

Elliott admitted last month that the season had been difficult for him, after figuring for fewer than 900 minutes in all competitions over the course of the campaign.

"It's been hard with how much I've played," Elliott told Sky Sports after scoring in Liverpool's loss to Brighton

There is no need for me to start with different players but I think if you look at the amount of minutes he has had in the last two months, and the months before, you can see it goes up already.

"That tells you that I like him more when he came back from his injury in the first months.”
