The 23-year-old was earmarked as a future star as he progressed through the ranks at Fulham and joined Liverpool<\/strong> <\/a>in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Despite this, Elliott<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s Liverpool career was derailed by a serious ankle injury in September 2021, while he also slipped in the pecking order under former boss Arne Slot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Elliott was named Player of the Tournament as England won the 2025 U21 European Championships, but he joined Aston Villa on loan with an obligation to buy under certain conditions for \u00a335m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n However, this loan did not work for anyone involved, with Elliott only making nine appearances across all competitions as Aston Villa avoided triggering the buy clause in the deal with Liverpool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In the summer, Liverpool appointing Andoni Iraola to replace Slot could have given Elliott a fresh start. In July, the head coach hinted that he could stay at Anfield: \u201cHarvey is here with us. I\u2019ve seen him with this eagerness to show himself. He will have a chance during pre-season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cHe came one week earlier and I hope we can see him in a good place. Last season had to have been very difficult for him as it was a strange situation that meant they [Aston Villa] couldn\u2019t let him play.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But the club opted to send him out on loan to La Liga<\/a> outfit Valencia and since completing the move, Elliott has been eased in by making three substitute appearances in La Liga, with 85 minutes played in total.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
