Brighton are reportly preparing a hefty bid for Liverpool’s Harvey Elliot, in a move which could also prove lucrative for Fulham.

The England youth international, 22, joined Liverpool from Fulham in 2019, since picking up Premier League and Club World Cup winners’ medals, but is now eyeing an exit following the arrival of Florian Wirtz.

He made just 28 appearances last season, scoring five goals and assisting three, after missing the early season with a broken foot.

Now facing increased competition following the British-record signing of Bayer Leverkusen forward Wirtz, he is preparing to leave the club, with Brighton said to be readying a £40million bid.

Upon Elliot’s sale to Liverpool in 2019, Fulham reportedly insisted on the inclusion of a 20 per cent sell-on clause, meaning the Cottagers could stand to earn around £8m from the deal.

Brighton consider Elliot a ‘key target’ and hope that the presence of his former Liverpool teammate James Milner could help coax him to the South Coast.

Wolves were also reported by TalkSport to hold an interest in Elliot earlier this year.

He could become one of several attacking departures from Liverpool this summer, with Federico Chiesa and Darwin Nunez also set to depart the club.

Elliot has scored twice in four appearances so far at the U21 European Championships, finding the back of the net in a group stage tie against the Czech Republic and in a quarter-final win over Spain.

Speaking ahead of the tournament, though, he told the media that he was carefully considering his next career steps, but confirmed he had no overwhelming desire to leave Liverpool.

"It's just a situation that me and the team have to have a conversation about,” he said.

I don't really want to be wasting years on my career because it's a short career.

You don't know what's going to happen.

"I need to reflect.

I need to see if I'm content in doing what I'm doing and how can I improve as a player because that's the most important thing.

"I just want to improve and be the best possible version of myself.

If that's to go somewhere else, then it's a decision that I'm going to have to make and I just need to see what happens.

"Nothing makes me want to leave.

But most importantly, it's just about what's best for my career."

A transfer is not likely to be completed while Elliot is competing in the U21 Euros, which end on June 28.
