How much Harvey Elliott could cost Leeds United as deadline-busting deal on cards
Harvey Elliott could soon be on his way out of Liverpool amid links to Leeds United.
The England youth international returned to Anfield at the end of last season after a tough spell at Aston Villa.
Going into the final days of the transfer window, the 23-year-old's situation will be worth watching closely.
The Elland Road hierarchy continue to look for further additions and Elliott's continuity at Liverpool looks unlikely.
AC Milan are keeping tabs on the playmaker's situation and could make a move as deadline day gets near.
However, the West Yorkshire outfit could potentially beat the Serie A giants in the race for the Englishman.
Why Leeds United could have beating of AC Milan in Harvey Elliott pursuit
Elliott has emerged as a target at Leeds this summer, but it has previously been reported that he prefers a move elsewhere.
Daniel Farke will certainly believe his chances of signing the Liverpool gem may increase as the transfer window winds down.
According to CaughtOffside on 26 August, Milan value Elliott, who was considered a "real wonderkid" when he first joined the Merseyside outfit, at around £21million.
Liverpool, on the other hand, want close to £30m for the England Under-21 star.
If the West Yorkshire outfit can get close to the Reds' valuation, they could steal the versatile midfielder from under the Italian club's noses.
How Harvey Elliott transfer could affect Elland Road attacking options
Against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup, Daniel James started as the right-wing-back, with Sean Longstaff providing advanced support.
Noah Okafor was the left-winger, with Harry Wilson and Brenden Aaronson coming off the bench in the second half.
Farke has highly versatile attacking players at his disposal who can play in multiple positions.
The addition of another winger, preferably on the left, would certainly make sense at Elland Road to have enough depth up front for the 2026-27 campaign.
Someone like Elliott could fit perfectly into Farke's plans, given his versatility to play out wide and in midfield.
The German manager has built a collective unit rather than a group of individuals and the Liverpool ace may have a chance to kickstart his career in LS11.
