Tottenham Hotspur hope to sign Harvey Elliott from Liverpool, and they are prepared to accept the terms of the Premier League champions in order to get the deal done.
Harvey Elliott needs to leave Liverpool to play regularly, and moving to Tottenham could be ideal for him. Spurs need more creativity and cutting edge in the final third, and Elliott will help them create opportunities and score goals.
The 22-year-old has shown his ability with Liverpool during his cameos, but he needs to play regularly at this stage of his career. Sitting on the bench at Liverpool will not benefit him. Tottenham will be able to provide him with the opportunity he needs, and they have an ambitious project as well.
They will be able to provide him with Champions League football, and that makes them a very attractive destination. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to accept the terms of the transfer to get it across the line.
It will be interesting to see if the North London outfit follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done. The fact that Tottenham are willing to accept the demands from Liverpool should help facilitate a move smoothly.
Liverpool might regret Elliott departure
Meanwhile, Liverpool might end up regretting the decision to let the 22-year-old move on this summer. The Englishman is a phenomenal talent with a bright future, and he could develop into a future star for Tottenham. James Maddison is currently sidelined with a long-term knee injury, and Tottenham cannot afford to head into the new season without a quality attacking midfielder.
The Liverpool youngster certainly fits the profile, and he could fill the creative void on the side next season. The 22-year-old needs to focus on playing regularly and continuing his development for now.
If he manages to fulfil his tremendous potential, he will have plenty of opportunities to play for an elite club in future again. As for Liverpool, they should look to try and include a buyback clause in his contract so that they can bring him back to the club in future.
