Liverpool star has won the UEFA Europa League. Elliott has made four Europa League appearances this season and has played just 109 Premier League minutes during a season-long loan from Liverpool.Villa had an obligation to make the move permanent for £35m if he reached 10 league appearances, but he has featured only four times.

How the season has gone has been difficult.”Harvey Elliott’s only Premier League start for Aston Villa this season came in September against Fulham, when he was substituted at half-time, and he has not featured in the league since February. Despite interest from clubs in the Premier League and Europe, he is not expected to have a future at Liverpool under head coach Arne Slot.Slot has, however, confirmed Elliott will return to Liverpool for pre-season ahead of 2026-27.

But of course, it’s never nice for a player not to make so many minutes, especially after the season he had with us, where he made – I assume – even more minutes with us than these 280.“He went over there to get more playing time, but unfortunately that didn’t happen. That’s not for me to answer.“But it’s always a pity if a player hardly plays for two years, let alone a player of that age that has shown during the [U21] Euros that he’s such a good player.” Slot added: “He’s contracted to us so he will be with us in the start of the season.”YOUR EUROPA LEAGUE WINNERS – ASTON VILLA! 😍 pic.twitter.com/dFHuvEYGDp— Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial) May 20, 2026 Aston Villa Harvey Elliott UEFA Europa League
