Harvey Elliot faces an uncertain future at Liverpool heading into the 2025/26 campaign.
The 21-year-old was a key player for the Reds under Jurgen Klopp, however, Arne Slot has not shown the same faith in the English midfielder.
Slot has labelled Elliott as ‘talented’ this season but the Dutch coach has not backed that up by playing the midfielder.
The youngster has received just 503 minutes of action across 17 games and that is likely to result in the player seeking a move away from Anfield at the end of the season.
Brighton and Borussia Dortmund showed an interest in Elliott last summer and it remains to be seen if the clubs return ahead of next season.
Should Elliott depart the Merseyside club, the Premier League leaders should be all over another English talent.

Tyler Dibling is set to leave Southampton this summer
Southampton’s Tyler Dibling has impressed in the Premier League this season despite playing in a struggling Saints team.
With Ivan Juric’s side set to be relegated from the English top flight, the 19-year-old is one of several players expected to depart St Mary’s Stadium this summer.

According to talkSPORT, Dibling is expected to leave the south coast once Southampton’s return to the Championship is sealed.
The England under-21 international is out of contract with the Saints in 2027 and the report states that the youngster is unhappy with the new deal he has been offered.
This will likely pave the way for a move ahead of the 2025/26 campaign with Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa already making initial enquiries.
With the future of Elliott uncertain, Liverpool should be all over a move for Dibling as the 19-year-old has the potential to be a future star.
Liverpool should consider Tyler Dibling swoop
Liverpool have been linked with a move for Dibling in the past when RB Leipzig were willing to pay £25.5m for the English teenager.
That is unlikely to be enough to secure the services of the Southampton star but the Premier League leaders could put the money from the sale of Elliott towards this transfer.
Dibling would be the perfect addition to Slot’s squad as he is versatile, young, and there is plenty of room for development.
The English winger could be the successor to Mohamed Salah at Anfield and while the Egyptian superstar is still around, his ability to play as a midfielder would see him get minutes under his belt.

Tyler Dibling’s 24/25 Premier League stats
Dibling’s stats are nothing to write home about but those numbers are circumstantial given the poor form of Southampton.
The 19-year-old is a player worth taking a risk on and it is something Liverpool should consider ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
