Harvey Elliott provides telling update on Liverpool future after Reds' spending spree

Liverpool star Harvey Elliott has again revealed that he's open to leaving the club. Elliott, 22, is reportedly a target for West Ham after a bittersweet season at Anfield.

The midfielder helped Arne Slot's side win the Premier League title but he started just six games in all competitions. Elliott reminded clubs of his magic during the under-21 European Championship, where he first revealed that he'd be open to leaving, as England retained their crown and he was named Player of the Tournament.

Elliott scored five goals from midfield, including in the final against Germany. After returning to Liverpool and travelling with his team-mates to Asia for their pre-season tour, the former Fulham wonderkid is pondering an exit.

"Look, if I had it my way, I'd be here for the rest of my career, it's as simple as that, I love everything about the club," Elliott told The Anfield Wrap in Hong Kong.

"But at the same time I kind of need to be selfish with myself and see what's best for me. I have big ambitions. I want to go to the World Cup. I want to keep being successful as a player.

"I think it's still something I need to review. I need to have a talk with everyone, really and review the situation because we've had many new players come in, so whether it blocks the path for me I'm not sure, it's something I need to decide and have a look at.

"My main focus is here now. At the moment I'm here for the season, as far as I'm aware, unless if anything changes, we have a busy pre-season, it's non-stop, I need to make sure I'm focus on that and just be ready for everything."

His departure could come at the perfect time for Liverpool, who've spent an eye-watering £300million this summer and will want to recoup a chunk of that through sales. The Reds could also be about to slap down a British-record £125m bid in an attempt to prise Alexander Isak out of Newcastle.

Liverpool have signed seven players so far, a stark contrast to Slot's quiet first transfer window. Hugo Ekitike became the latest addition on Wednesday, joining Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman.

The Reds began their run of pre-season friendlies with a 3-1 victory over Preston North End. They're are next in action against AC Milan on Saturday before facing Yokohama F. Marinos.
