Harvey Elliott is weighing up his options ahead of a potential Liverpool exit this summer, with the winger reportedly setting a deadline to assess his future under new manager Andoni Iraola. The 23-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, is waiting until closer to the start of the new campaign before deciding whether to leave Anfield.
Elliott's loan move to Villa last season included an obligatory purchase clause after 10 appearances, but the deal fell through as Villa declined to make the move permanent. He made only nine appearances for Unai Emery's side, with just four between January and May, stalling his development.
With a new era beginning at Liverpool under Iraola, the midfielder has a chance to impress. Iraola has stated that every player will be treated as a new signing, saying, 'For me, you are all new signings, and I think we have a lot of quality in our squad.' Elliott contributed a joint-career high of five Premier League goals last season but may seek more first-team minutes elsewhere.
Liverpool have less than two weeks before pre-season begins, and Elliott will have ample opportunity to prove his worth. However, he is keen to avoid repeating last season's mistakes, where an unfortunate contract situation hindered his progress.
