Aston Villa have signed Harvey Elliott from Liverpool, MySportDab reports.
The England international will sign in as a new Villa player on a loan deal with a £35 million obligation to buy clause.
Signed from Fulham in 2019 for an undisclosed fee, Elliott scored 11 goals and provided 17 assists across all competitions for Liverpool.
The 22-year-old had expressed his desire for more game time following his limited opportunities at Anfield and was increasingly linked to this move away from the club.
According to Fabrizio Romano, he will sign as a new player for Unai Emery’s side.
“Aston Villa reach verbal agreement with Liverpool to sign Harvey Elliott, here we go!
“Agreement in place with Liverpool on loan with obligation to buy guaranteed for £35m package. Medical being arranged,” Fabrizio Romano confirms.
Villa went on a wild chase for Harvey Elliot after they closed in on an agreement with West Ham United for Lucas Paqueta, only for the deal to collapse at the death.
Elliot joins the list of high-profile Premier League stars joining the ranks of the Villans for this season. We reported earlier the Unai Emery-led side have reached an agreement with Manchester United to also sign Jadon Sancho.
As Elliot’s deal, Sancho joins the club on loan till the end of the season after his potential move to AS Roma fails through.
Elliot managed only 18 Premier League appearances for Liverpool last season under new manager Arne Slot and was also set for a bit-part role at the club this season.
He made his first appearance for the Reds this season, coming on as a substitute in the 1-0 Premier League win over Arsenal at the weekend.
From his dwindling fortunes at Merseyside, the English sensation will hope to open a new chapter with Villa following this move.
