Brighton & Hove Albion are prepared to table a £40 million offer to Liverpool for the services of Harvey Elliott, according to [the Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news-live-arsenal-fc-chelsea-man-utd-liverpool-zaire-emery-guehi-ekitike-b1232764.html).
The 22-year-old has struggled for playing time under Arne Slot and is now reportedly one of Brighton’s top transfer targets this summer.
Elliott made 28 appearances in all competitions last season, contributing five goals and three assists, though most of those outings came off the bench.
Given the recent arrival of Florian Wirtz, Elliott is set for another campaign on the periphery should he remain at Anfield, and he is likely to leave in search of a more prominent role.
The player has repeatedly expressed his love for Liverpool in previous interviews but also hinted at the importance of development through consistent playing time, particularly with ambitions to break into the England senior squad.
While Liverpool have publicly shown no desire to sell, it is believed a bid in the region of £45 million could test their resolve.
Brighton’s interest in Elliott may be influenced by possible departures within their own squad with Joao Pedro and Matt O’Riley currently wanted by Newcastle United and Roma respectively.
The South Coast club have developed a track record of developing young talents and giving them the platform to shine, an approach that will definitely appeal to Elliott at this stage of his career.

The reigning champions are still eyeing further reinforcements in the transfer window despite recently taking their summer spending spree close to £200m by agreeing a deal with Bournemouth for Milos Kerkez off the back of completed swoops for Jeremie Frimpong and Wirtz.
