Aston Villa completed the signing of 22-year-old Harvey Elliott from Liverpool on transfer Deadline Day after the midfielder sought more playing time following limited minutes under Arne Slot. The deal includes an obligation to buy set at around £35 million, with Liverpool inserting both a buy-back clause and a sell-on clause to retain future options. Elliott attracted interest from RB Leipzig, West Ham and Fulham but chose Aston Villa and Unai Emery's project. Technically gifted and tactically versatile, Elliott can operate centrally or in advanced roles, offering creativity and regular top-level football while strengthening Villa's midfield.
Aston Villa have an obligation to buy Harvey Elliott According to journalist David Lynch, the deal includes an obligation to buy set at around 35 million. Liverpool, mindful of Elliott's long-term potential, have protected themselves by inserting both a buy-back clause and a sell-on clause into the agreement, ensuring that the player's future remains partially in their hands. Elliott had been the subject of significant interest from across Europe and the Premier League.
Emery has consistently spoken of his desire to add technically gifted and tactically versatile players to his squad, and Elliott fits that description perfectly. Capable of playing both as a central midfielder and in more advanced attacking roles, the England Under-21 international brings creativity to Villa. The 35m obligation provides guaranteed revenue, but the buy-back clause ensures the Reds retain an option to re-sign him should he reach the levels many believe he is capable of.
