Here's the latest from Liverpool.com...Elliott's transfer 'surprise'Former Premier League player Chris Waddle is "surprised" that no one has come in for Elliott so far this summer.The 23-year-old midfielder is back on Merseyside following his loan spell at Aston Villa, and it's unclear whether he'll remain part of Iraola's squad or find a new club before the transfer window slams shut."I think Harvey Elliott is a good player," Wadle told OLBG. Whether they think he's over-priced or his demands are too high, I don't know."Harvey Elliott is back at Liverpool following his loan spell at Aston Villa(Image: Getty Images)Waddle added: "He's a talented player, and I've been very surprised that nobody has taken a chance on him, even if it was for another year-long loan."The former England star continued: "I think Elliott has to use pre-season to see where he stands with Andoni Iraola and gauge what the manager's plans are.

If he isn't in those plans, then it’s time for him to say, 'I need to move on. I need to play.'"Wirtz urged to moveFormer Liverpool striker Fernando Morientes believes Florian Wirtz should join Chelsea and reunite with former manager Xabi Alonso following his difficult first season at Liverpool.Wirtz made a big-money move from Bayer Leverkusen, where he played under Alonso, this time last year, but he struggled to cope with the demands of English soccer.

He hasn't found his level in his first season, and I think what he needs is a change of scenery to get back to his best," Morientes told Reviant."I'll put this in the context of something similar that happened to me. I needed to find my best version, and I needed the team and the coach around me to suit my style, too."Morientes added: "I think he (Wirtz) himself probably realizes he's not quite in the right context, and Xabi Alonso's interest is very interesting for that reason.
