Brighton & Hove Albion has set its sights on Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott, with the Premier League side considering a £40 million bid for the 22-year-old midfielder. Elliott, who has been a valuable squad player for Liverpool, is eager for consistent game time and has been linked to a move away from Anfield.
According to reports, Brighton has made Elliott its top transfer target, and the club’s progressive, possession-based football style is thought to be appealing to the young midfielder. Under new head coach Fabian Hürzeler, Brighton believes Elliott could thrive in a dynamic, attack-focused setup, either as a central playmaker or in a wider creative role.
Elliott’s path to regular first-team action at Liverpool appears increasingly blocked, especially following the arrival of German star Florian Wirtz. Despite his promising start to his career, Elliott’s appearances for Liverpool have dipped dramatically last season, prompting fresh consideration of his future.
Brighton may face the exit of Joao Pedro this window and is looking to reload with youthful, high-upside talent. Elliott fits the mould perfectly, and the South Coast club may test Liverpool’s resolve with a formal £40 million bid.
The move would be a significant coup for Brighton, and Elliott would be expected to play a key role in the team’s ambitions. With England ambitions looming on the horizon, Elliott will have to weigh his loyalty to Liverpool against his growing need for regular action.
