Unai Emery has revealed talks are taking place over Harvey Elliott‘s future at Aston Villa, hinting at a return to Liverpool – perhaps as early as the January transfer window. Elliott has not travelled with the Villa squad for their Europa League clash with Basel on Thursday night, meaning he will miss a 13th straight game for the club.

“We are speaking with him and about his situation. He is on loan playing with us, but he is not definitely adding to us with a permanent contract.

“Hopefully we can get a solution for him to try to play consistently and try to continue in his career with us or not.” Liverpool’s stance on Harvey Elliott may shift With Elliott unable to play for another club this season having already made appearances for both Liverpool and Villa, there are fewer options for the 22-year-old in January. He can either stay at Villa and look to force his way into Emery’s plans – which seems futile at this stage – or look to return to Merseyside and rejoin Arne Slot‘s squad.
