As Harvey Elliott dazzles on the international stage with the England U21s, former Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp’s earlier remarks about the youngster have resurfaced — and they might just be a quiet nudge to Arne Slot.

The 22-year-old midfielder was instrumental in England’s semi-final win over the Netherlands, scoring twice to send his side into the U21 Euros final against Germany. With four goals in the tournament, Elliott’s performances have reignited discussions around his future at Anfield.

Despite his standout displays, Elliott’s long-term place under new manager Arne Slot remains uncertain. Reports suggest several clubs — including Brighton, Fulham, West Ham, RB Leipzig, and Fiorentina — are monitoring the situation closely, especially after the club’s recent acquisition of German playmaker Florian Wirtz.

Elliott, who made only 28 appearances last season, has expressed concern about his limited role. Speaking earlier this month, he hinted at the need for honest discussions about his career direction, stating he doesn’t want to “waste years” sitting on the sidelines.

Yet, despite the uncertainty, Elliott reaffirmed his affection for the club and its supporters, saying there’s “nothing” driving him away from Liverpool emotionally.

Klopp, who handed Elliott numerous chances during his tenure, admitted last year that one of his few regrets was not giving the talented youngster more regular starts — especially during periods when he had been one of the side’s most consistent performers.

Slot, meanwhile, addressed Elliott’s limited playing time in May. He cited the intense competition within the squad and the player’s long-term injury recovery as factors. However, he acknowledged that Elliott had returned to form in recent months and was again showing his best.

As the final of the U21 Euros looms, all eyes will be on Elliott — not just for his performance on the pitch, but for clues about what lies ahead in his Liverpool journey. 👀
