'He needs to play' - Harvey Elliott told to leave Liverpool after starring for England Under-21s

Club Friendlies

Liverpool

<p>Elliott has been in inspired form for England's Under-21 side, scoring four goals in the ongoing European Championship to help Lee Carsley's side reach the final. Two of those strikes came on <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-under-21s-player-ratings-netherlands-harvey-elliott-liverpool-euros/blteec64c9fe653aa79" target="_blank">Wednesday evening in the 2-1 victory over the Netherlands</a>, including an 85th-minute winner.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The 2024-25 campaign was a tough one for Elliott. He made 28 appearances for Liverpool but managed only two starts in the Premier League, both of which came when the title was already wrapped up. He has previously admitted his frustration with his limited role at Anfield and former Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor has now urged the midfielder to leave Merseyside this summer.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Agbonlahor said as quoted by <a href="https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/harvey-elliott-liverpool-transfer-england-31936152" target="_blank"><em>Liverpool.com</em></a>: "He deserves to go and play and start week in, week out. He is 22 now and everyone has said this about James McAtee at Manchester City but he needs to play. He needs to be getting 40 games a season and he isn't getting that at Liverpool. </p><p>"I would push for a move if I was him. I know it is hard to leave a big club like Liverpool but for him and the club, a move is perfect. </p><p>"I am sure Liverpool will look at it, and realise the fee has probably gone up for how good he has been [at the Euros]. He might not think he is too far off at Liverpool and go to a team fighting for Europe, or try a different league."</p>

WHAT AGBONLAHOR SAID

<p>While his future looks to be up in the air, Elliott's next assignment comes in the Euros final with England set to battle Germany on Saturday night.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR ELLIOTT?
