⚪️ Tottenham Eye Move for Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott Amid Wirtz Arrival
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly joined the race to sign Harvey Elliott, with the Liverpool midfielder believed to be open to a summer move following increased competition for places at Anfield.
According to sources close to the player, Elliott is assessing his options after Florian Wirtz’s high-profile arrival from Bayer Leverkusen, which could further limit his playing time under new manager Arne Slot.
🔴 Liverpool Career: Talent Without Traction
Despite consistently impressing when given the chance, the 21-year-old has struggled for regular starts at Liverpool. A fan favourite known for his vision, creativity, and pressing intensity, Elliott has largely featured off the bench or in cup competitions, with senior figures like Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and now Wirtz ahead of him in the pecking order.
Last season, Elliott made 38 appearances across all competitions, contributing with key assists and strong performances in the Europa League. However, a lack of consistent Premier League minutes has raised concerns about his long-term role at the club.
⚪️ Why Spurs Are Interested
Tottenham are keen to bolster their creative midfield options and view Elliott as a player who:
- Fits Ange Postecoglou’s high-tempo, possession-driven system
- Offers Premier League experience and positional versatility (central, wide, or advanced midfield)
- Still has significant development upside, with his best years ahead
With Giovani Lo Celso and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg expected to leave, Spurs are targeting younger, technically gifted midfielders to reshape the squad’s core.
🧩 The Bigger Picture at Anfield
Liverpool’s midfield rebuild appears nearly complete after the arrivals of Wirtz, Frimpong, and Kerkez, while Quansah’s sale to Leverkusen and ongoing speculation around Darwin Núñez signal a period of evolution at the club.
Elliott’s departure — if sanctioned — would come as a surprise to many fans, but could be viewed as a necessary step to:
- Raise funds for additional signings
- Give the player a chance to develop as a starter elsewhere
🔄 What’s Next?
While no formal offer has been made, Spurs are expected to open talks with Liverpool in the coming weeks. Other Premier League sides, including Aston Villa and Brighton, are also monitoring the situation.
Liverpool’s stance remains unclear — but a sale in the region of £30–40 million could tempt the Reds, especially with homegrown status boosting Elliott’s valuation.
🔄 Tottenham Make Move for Harvey Elliott Amid Liverpool Midfield Overhaul
With Premier League champions Liverpool completing the high-profile signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, questions have emerged around Harvey Elliott’s long-term role at Anfield. The 22-year-old midfielder is now said to be weighing up his future, and a summer departure is firmly on the cards.
⚪️ Tottenham Enquire About Elliott’s Availability
According to Graeme Bailey of TBR Football, Tottenham Hotspur have formally enquired about Elliott, sensing a potential opportunity to land the talented England U21 international. The inquiry comes as new Spurs manager Thomas Frank begins to shape his squad, with Elliott’s pressing intensity, creativity, and versatility seen as a perfect fit for his dynamic style of play.
🔴 Slot’s New Era May Squeeze Elliott Out
New Liverpool boss Arne Slot reportedly views Wirtz as a key figure in his system, with the German international expected to operate centrally in a 4-2-3-1 formation. This tactical shift could see Elliott, who often played as a right-sided midfielder or attacking interior under Jürgen Klopp, slip further down the pecking order.
Elliott still has two years left on his current contract, but sources suggest he has accepted the reality that regular starting opportunities may not be forthcoming with Liverpool’s midfield refresh well underway.
💰 Liverpool Open to Offers Over £40 Million
Liverpool are not actively pushing Elliott out, but the club is said to be open to offers exceeding £40 million, given the midfielder’s homegrown status, age, and Premier League experience. Several other clubs are monitoring the situation, including Aston Villa and Brighton, but Spurs appear to be first to act with a concrete enquiry.
🧠 What Elliott Would Bring to Spurs
- Elite work rate and pressing acumen
- Ability to play multiple midfield and wide roles
- Tactical intelligence and strong ball progression
- Premier League-ready and still with room to grow
Should a move materialize, Elliott would become one of the headline signings of Thomas Frank’s first window in charge — and a potential statement of intent for a new-look Tottenham.
