Harvey Elliott is likely to have no shortage of suitors this summer should he leave Liverpool with Brighton, West Ham and RB Leipzig of the Bundesliga all courting him following his heroics at the U21 European Championship finals.

Elliott, 22, only had a bit-part role with the Reds last season as they romped to Premier League glory. But the midfielder has been the main man for England’s Under-21s out in Slovakia during this summer’s tournament, where he scored twice earlier this week to send Lee Carsley’s young lions through to the Euros final.

A move away from Anfield would appear to be on the cards this summer with Elliott already hinting he is keen to play regularly next term.

And that could see him join a Premier League rival according to The Mail, who claim that Brighton and West Ham are both keen on signing the former Fulham prodigy.

RB Leipzig could also offer Elliott the chance of a fresh start in Germany if he decides to quit the Premier League in the coming weeks.

Elliott’s future has become a major talking point on Merseyside in recent weeks after he started just twice in the Premier League last season.

Talk of a transfer was further fuelled when the young midfielder was spotted in tears on the Anfield pitch during Liverpool’s title celebration, with some suggesting that was a sure-fire sign that he had already decided to seek a summer move.

Elliott was immediately urged to move on by Jermain Defoe in the aftermath of his two goals in England U21s’ 2-1 win over the Netherlands earlier this week, with the former Tottenham striker telling him to ‘get out and play’.

Defoe told Channel 4: “There’ll be a lot of clubs watching this tournament.

“We said it before, he’s too good to not be playing. When you’re producing in big tournaments like this against the best players, the two goals that we saw this evening, he’s a top, top player.

“For him, he just needs to go out and play, get himself in a team where he’s one of the main players, and just go out and express yourself and show how good you are because this performance tonight, it’s amazing.”
