Harvey Elliott's Liverpool future is up in the air after a season in which he started just six games for the Reds in all competitions.
The 22-year-old has been at Liverpool since 2019 and was making steady strides under Jurgen Klopp, but the arrival of Arne Slot signaled a drastic reduction in his game time. Elliott did not start a Premier League game until the title had been wrapped up, while his only European start came in a league-phase dead rubber.
The youngster underlined his quality at the European Under-21 Championship on Wednesday, scoring both of England's goals as Lee Carsley's youngsters beat the Netherlands 2-1 to advance to the final.
Such an influential performance brought Elliott's club future to the forefront of people's minds, and there are a number of clubs that would no doubt love to sign a player of his quality.
One of them is Brighton, which is the club that has been most strongly linked with a move for Elliott.
The Seagulls have gained plenty of plaudits for the way the club has been run in recent years, operating shrewdly in the transfer market, and a move to the Amex Stadium would provide Elliott with the platform to get his club career back on track.
Among the other Premier League clubs that are apparently interested in Elliott are West Ham and Fulham. Fulham is said to have enquired about the possibility of re-signing the player that swapped Craven Cottage for Anfield six years ago.
Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Italian outfit Fiorentina and German club RB Leipzig are also keeping tabs on Elliott's situation.

Meanwhile, former England player Gabby Agbonlahor believes that Elliott is at a stage in his career when he needs to be playing more frequently.
"He deserves to go and play and start week in, week out," Agbonlahor said after Elliott's star semi-final showing for England. "He is 22 now, and everyone has said this about James McAtee at Man City, but he needs to play.
"He needs to be getting 40 games a season, and he isn't getting that at Liverpool.
"I would push for a move if I was him. I know it is hard to leave a big club like Liverpool, but for him and the club, a move is perfect.
"I am sure Liverpool will look at it, and realize the fee has probably gone up for how good he has been [at the Euros].
"He might not think he is too far off at Liverpool and go to a team fighting for Europe, or try a different league."
