Aston Villa explores options for on-loan Liverpool star Harvey Elliott

Aston Villa is currently evaluating options for Harvey Elliott, who is on loan from Liverpool. The 22-year-old midfielder has not been a regular starter since his arrival at Villa Park on transfer deadline day.

Unai Emery’s Approach to Elliott’s Future

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery expressed the need to find a resolution regarding Elliott’s situation. During a recent press conference, he stated that Elliott will “not definitely” remain with the team on a permanent basis.

Current Performance and Conditions

Since joining Villa, Elliott has appeared in just seven matches. According to the terms of his loan, a permanent transfer will activate if he plays 10 Premier League games. This means he needs to increase his game time significantly in the coming weeks.

Recent Matches and Upcoming Fixtures

  • Elliott’s last appearance was against Feyenoord on October 2, where he came on as a late substitute.
  • He will not take part in the upcoming Europa League match against Basel.
  • He previously showcased his talent by helping England Under-21s secure the European Championship title last summer.

Emery confirmed that discussions regarding Elliott’s situation are ongoing. However, pivotal decisions will depend on the player’s performance and future engagement with the team.
