Leeds United Convinced Harvey Elliott Wants to Join After Social Media Hint
Leeds United are growing increasingly confident that Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott is keen on a move to Elland Road, sparked by a cryptic social media post from the young star. The 22-year-old midfielder, who has struggled for game time under Liverpool’s Arne Slot, reportedly hinted at his future through a post that caught the attention of Leeds’ recruitment team, fueling speculation about a potential transfer.
Elliott, a former Fulham prodigy, has made 146 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 15 goals and providing 20 assists. However, his limited starts this season—only two in the Premier League—have led to frustration, with Elliott openly admitting he may need to consider his future to secure regular playing time. Sources suggest Leeds, newly promoted to the Premier League, see Elliott as a marquee signing to bolster their midfield and help them compete in the top flight.
The social media post in question, though not explicitly detailed, is believed to reflect Elliott’s openness to a new challenge. Leeds, under Daniel Farke, are eager to capitalize on this, viewing Elliott’s versatility and Premier League experience as ideal for their ambitions. The club is reportedly prepared to break their transfer record, potentially surpassing the £35.5m spent on Georginio Rutter, to secure the England U21 international.
Liverpool’s openness to letting Elliott go, with a reported £50m valuation, has also attracted interest from Wolves, Aston Villa, and Newcastle. However, Leeds’ proactive approach and promise of a starring role could sway the midfielder. The Whites are already planning a busy summer, with transfer links growing as they aim to bridge the gap between the Championship and Premier League.
Elliott’s potential move would be a statement of intent for Leeds, who are also eyeing other high-profile targets like Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher. With Elliott’s skillset and hunger for minutes, he could thrive at Elland Road, where fans are eager to see a player of his caliber don the famous white shirt. As the transfer window nears, Leeds will hope Elliott’s social media activity is a sign he’s ready to join their Premier League journey.
