Tottenham Hotspur have intensified their pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott amid growing speculation about his future at Anfield. Elliott, 22, has struggled for consistent playing time under Liverpool manager Arne Slot following a squad overhaul. Despite limited minutes last season, his talent has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs, with Tottenham emerging as frontrunners alongside Newcastle United and German side RB Leipzig.

Sources indicate Tottenham and Newcastle have begun talks with Elliott's agents to explore a potential transfer this summer. Football insiders note that both English clubs aim to gauge Liverpool's asking price and Elliott's personal terms. Meanwhile, Leipzig have opened preliminary discussions from the player’s side, positioning themselves as an appealing option due to their reputation for developing young talents and offering regular first-team football.

Harvey Elliott himself has hinted at uncertainty regarding his Liverpool future in recent interviews. While expressing his love for the club, he acknowledged the need to be "selfish" and prioritize his career ambitions, including aspirations to return to the England squad and make the World Cup. Elliott recognizes that new signings at Liverpool may limit his pathway to regular starts, and he plans to hold talks with the club to assess his options.

Prominent football pundits, including Jamie O’Hara, have publicly supported Elliott’s move to Tottenham, praising his versatility and technical qualities. Elliott can operate as a right winger, number 10, or central midfielder, which would allow him to compete with Tottenham’s existing midfield and attacking players. Liverpool are reportedly willing to let Elliott leave for around £40 million, a valuation reflecting his potential and age.
