Liverpool FC NewsFeaturesHarvey ElliottHarvey Elliott's Liverpool career looked to be over when he joined Aston Villa last summer but that move proved to be disastrous and he will return to the Reds for pre-seasonHarvey Elliott trainsHarvey Elliott is already putting work in on the pitch as he aims to make an impression on Andoni Iraola ahead of next seaosn.It looked as though Elliott's Liverpool career was over when he joined Aston Villa on a loan deal with a conditional obligation for Villa to sign the player permanently at the end of the season.That condition was that Elliott needed to make 10 appearances for Villa, and he was only handed nine appearances by Villa boss Unai Emery, who decided fairly early on in the season that he didn't want Villa to sign him permanently.The spectacular failure of that loan spell, coupled with Arne Slot's recent Anfield exit, has opened up the possibility of Elliott reviving his Liverpool career.Elliott's Anfield prospects, though, will depend on whether new head coach Iraola feels as though there is a place for him in the Reds' squad.The 23-year-old is not due back at Liverpool for the start of pre-season training until July, but he has sent a message to Iraola by putting in some one-to-one work on the field with a coach that he previously worked with at QPR.Elliott is a Liverpool supporter, so it seems unlikely that he would have chosen to leave last year had he felt that there was any chance that he would be able to win Slot over.Content cannot be displayed without consent“The love I have for Liverpool is still going to be there forever, that’s not going to change, I’m still going to be watching and looking out for them from afar," Elliott said last September when it seemed as though his Liverpool career was over.“I’m wishing them all the very best. I take all of my experiences and everything I learnt from Liverpool.

Hopefully I can start to kick on now.”The landscape has changed dramatically since Elliott's move to Villa, and Elliott's Liverpool prospects are now in Iraola's hands.Iraola emphasized that every player at the club will get the chance to impress him and secure their place in his squad. "I think we have a very good squad.

I think there is still work to do, like normally in every club in this moment of the season."But right now, for me, the thing is to value especially the players that we have right now in the squad. For me, you are all new signings, and I think we have a lot of quality in our squad, and [I'm] really looking forward to working with them."Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCHarvey Elliott
