The Child is prepared to fight for his place.
Harvey Elliott featured in 24 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool FC this season, overcoming an early season injury to play a key part in The Reds’ Premier League-winning season.
However, Elliott has only started 4 times, with none of them in the Premier League. This has prompted some speculation on Elliott’s future, with Chris Bascombe of the Telegraph reporting that Liverpool are not actively looking to sell but understand he could consider his options.
In an interview with the Liverpool ECHO after Sunday’s title win, Elliott spoke up on his situation:
“I hope that I can push on. This is my team, I am committed to them.”
“It’s just a situation that is always going to have a lot of talk, I just need to think about what is best for my future, my career and as much as I want it to be here.”
“You never know what is going to happen around the corner.”
“If I had it my way, that would be here, I would play each and every game here and stay here for the rest of my career but it all depends on managers, the people above and as I said you don’t know what could happen.”
“But as far as I am aware I am here, here to stay and this is the club I want to be at.”
“Hopefully I am still here to be honest. It is the best place to be, the best club to be at and especially having the fans around us at the moment, I don’t think there is a better place to be playing.”
“Players go through ups and downs but at the end of the day you have to come out fighting and I think it is within myself to make it happen.”
“So hopefully I can stay here for the rest of my career.”
“I think it’s been a lot more difficult for me because I obviously had that injury at the start. But at the same time, you need to be here for the team, work as hard as you can and when the opportunities come on the pitch.”
“A lot of times this season it’s almost been when we’ve been losing or drawing, so it is about trying to change the game, try and turn it around and have a positive impact. But, you know, any minutes for Liverpool are amazing.”
Harvey’s always been productive when he’s been on the pitch, and hopefully, he’ll be able to do that more next season.
