Fabrizio Romano says that Harvey Elliott is set to return to Liverpool from his loan spell at Aston Villa, before likely going out on loan again.
The 22-year-old struggled for playing time at Anfield before moving on last summer, but he’s also failed to make any impact during his time at Villa Park.
Liverpool will surely have been hoping for Elliott to play more often in the Premier League so he could either show he’s capable of returning as a better player to compete for a place in Arne Slot’s squad, or at the very least to put himself in the shop window for a permanent sale.
Fabrizio Romano’s latest update on Harvey Elliott’s future
However, it just hasn’t worked out for Elliott at Villa, and Romano has now posted on X that the England Under-21 international will be heading back to Liverpool before possibly going out on loan again, this time to MLS club Charlotte FC…
It’s been a challenging campaign for LFC and adding extra depth in midfield and attack could be a useful option to have.
Having said that, if Elliott was offloaded by Liverpool and has continued to struggle at Villa, it’s hard to see him having what it takes to really give this team what it needs right now
