Harvey Elliott’s name is being linked with [Albion](https://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/albion/) again – after Liverpool clinched a record deal.
The champions’ move for Florian Wirtz will set them back an initial £100 million.
That will become a British record £116 million if various clauses are met.

It also appears to affect Elliott’s potential to play significant minutes for the Reds.
Albion were believed to be interested in Elliott during the January transfer window and probably before that.
That might at least partly explain why The Sun report him to be of interest to the Seagulls in the current window.
He would command a sizeable fee and comes with some uncertainty over what he can produce in the Premier League on a consistent basis.
But Elliott, who is currently with England under-21s at the Euros, has shown plenty of promise.
He scored for Liverpool at the Amex towards the end of the season.

There is no suggestion that Albion have bid for Elliott but there is a theory the presence of his former Anfield mentor James Milner could help persuade the 22-year-old to move.
Albion have an array of options in attacking midfield areas but plenty of outward activity is expected during the summer transfer window.
