Harvey Elliott has been advised to hold showdown talks with Arne Slot to clarify his Liverpool future.

The Bundesliga side are said to see him as a replacement for Xavi Simons, who joined Tottenham this week.

The ECHO reports Liverpool will reject any late bids for the playmaker this summer.



But even so, 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 loss to Crystal Palace and one minute against Newcastle, where he contributed in the build-up to Rio Ngumoha's dramatic winner.

Mowbray, who briefly managed Elliott during his loan spell at Blackburn in the 2020/21 season, is certain of the player's exceptional talent.

The 61-year-old believes Elliott should be getting regular game time at Liverpool; otherwise, he should express his desire to leave to Slot.

When asked if the winger should consider leaving on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, Mowbray said: “If I was going to advise Harvey, I would say he needs to talk to his manager.

He needs to balance out how much he played for Jurgen Klopp and how much he’s going to play for Slot.

“If being a squad player’s good enough for him and he wants to stay at Liverpool, fine.

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 starred for the England U-21s earlier this summer, winning the European Championship once more and earning the player of the tournament honour.

He has since been open about his situation at Liverpool, revealing to The Anfield Wrap whilst 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.
