Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their midfield unit this summer, and they could move for the Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott.
The 22-year-old is highly rated in the Premier League, and he could develop into an important player for Tottenham if they manage to sign him. They have recently missed out on the signing of Morgan Gibbs White from Nottingham Forest, and they are looking at alternatives.
Graeme Bailey told TBR Football: “Gibbs-White was disappointing to them as we know, but there are going to be no knee-jerk reactions. They have done work on a lot of players, they have several options they like.”
Spurs keen on Harvey Elliott
The Liverpool player is one of the names on their shortlist. He is valued at £50 million and Tottenham have been monitoring him closely. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay the asking price for him.
Elliott is capable of operating centrally as well as on the flanks. He will add goals and creativity to the side. He needs to join a club where he will play regularly, and Tottenham might be able to provide him with that platform.
Even though the asking price is quite expensive, the player has the potential to justify the investment in future.
Elliott needs to play more often
The 22-year-old is not a regular starter for Liverpool. Even though he is a boyhood Liverpool fan, he should look to focus on his development for now and leave the club. If he manages to fulfil his potential, he will have plenty of opportunities to play for elite clubs in future. Sitting on the bench at Liverpool will be detrimental to his development.
There is no doubt that he is a phenomenal young player with a bright future. Tottenham would do well to secure his signature.
Elliott was outstanding for England under-21 in the recently concluded European Championships, and he helped them win the tournament. He has the quality to start for top clubs in the Premier League as well.
