Harvey Elliott: The Euro Under-21 Sensation Poised to Rewrite Football’s Future?
These physical and tactical considerations have shaped Liverpool’s recruitment strategy in recent seasons. After struggling defensively in 2022–23 when Elliott was used more regularly in midfield, the club overhauled their midfield options, abandoning a move for Jude Bellingham and instead focusing on acquiring players better suited to the system’s demands.
Elliott now finds himself behind several midfielders in the pecking order. The recent arrival of Florian Wirtz, signed for a potential fee of £116 million, only adds to the congestion. Alongside Wirtz, Liverpool already have Dominik Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, and Curtis Jones competing for similar roles. This logjam reduces Elliott’s chances of securing regular minutes, especially in his preferred advanced positions.
