There hasn’t been a first-team transfer between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool since Robbie Keane moved back to White Hart Lane in 2009.
The two clubs are part of the traditional big six in the English top-flight, and they have had many battles on the pitch over the years.
Liverpool have been the more successful side, and Jamie O’Hara will absolutely love it if Tottenham can reach the Reds’ level.
The Spurs supporting pundit is a fan of several Liverpool players, and he has now named one whom he would like to sign for his side.
Jamie O’Hara suggests Liverpool star Harvey Elliott for Tottenham
Harvey Elliott’s future at Liverpool is up in the air.
The Englishman has been at Anfield since joining them from Fulham in the summer of 2017. He has played close to 147 games for the club and has shown flashes of his brilliance.
However, Elliott has never been a regular starter for the Reds. He played just 360 minutes of football in the Premier League under Arne Slot last season, which is not good enough.
After watching the 22-year-old perform brilliantly for the England U21s, O’Hara claimed that he would happily take Elliott at Tottenham and even compared him to Dejan Kulusevski.
He said on talkSPORT: “I would have him at Tottenham, 100 per cent.
“He would play on the right and compete with Brennan Johnson. Kulusevski is quite a similar player to him, but I think Harvey Elliott has something about him. He can play as a number 10, he can play in different areas, he can play in midfield.
“I like Harvey Elliott. There’s a lot to like.”
Harvey Elliott to Tottenham makes sense
Tottenham could do with reinforcements in multiple areas of their pitch, and they have been linked with some big signings in recent weeks.
Spurs want Mbeumo, but he prefers Manchester United, as things stand.
Elliott can play on the right wing like Mbeumo, and he is capable of producing the goods as a number 10 as well as in a central midfield role.
The Englishman is still only 22, has plenty of experience in the Premier League, and with regular game time, he could become a star.
We’re with O’Hara here — if a deal for Elliott is feasible, Tottenham should consider signing him.
