"Harvey Elliott joined Aston Villa from Liverpool in the summer transfer window hoping to get playing time that was missing at Anfield. The young, versatile player was under used by Arne Slot last season and that made him consider a move away from the club. Unai Emery came to save him in the summer, or that is what he thought he was doing when he signed Elliott in a loan deal."
"I am surprised because I think he's a good player, but he hasn't quite taken the eye of Emery, Wyness said on Football Insider's Inside Track podcast. Now, there's also a big conspiracy theory going on right now. He's on loan, and if he gets 10 games, then he triggers the obligation to buy. There's talk that Liverpool want him back as well, so if the loan isn't confirmed, then he could come back to Liverpool."
Harvey Elliott moved from Liverpool to Aston Villa on loan aiming for more playing time after limited use under Arne Slot. The loan includes an obligation to buy for £35 million if Elliott reaches 10 appearances. Elliott has made seven appearances overall, scoring once, and only four Premier League appearances so far, prompting speculation about a January return to Liverpool. Unai Emery has so far struggled to find a consistent role for Elliott. Former Aston Villa CEO Keith Wyness noted talk of Liverpool wanting him back and suggested some Liverpool fans would prefer Elliott to recent expensive signings.
