Harvey Elliott reacts to Wataru Endo’s homecoming message as Liverpool exit nears
While Liverpool have been splashing the cash this summer, Harvey Elliott looks set to be among the players sold to help balance the books.
Elliott joined the Reds from Fulham in 2019 and has since made 147 appearances for the club across all competitions, registering 15 goals and 20 assists.
The midfielder has been part of two Premier League title-winning sides at Anfield, alongside lifting other major honours like the FA Cup and two EFL Cups.
However, Elliott’s Liverpool future is in doubt after he started just two Premier League matches last season.

Elliott is part of the Liverpool side currently in Asia for friendlies ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
The Reds lost 4-2 to AC Milan in Hong Kong last week and are now preparing to take on J League giants Yokohama F. Marinos on Wednesday.
Wataru Endo has posted on social media as he looks forward to playing in his homeland.
“Konnichiwa,” Endo captioned an Instagram post of images of himself training.
Translated from Japanese, Endo added: “I am very happy to be back in Japan as a member of Liverpool. To all the fans in Japan, please enjoy tomorrow’s game! YNWA.”
A host of Endo’s Liverpool teammates liked the post, including Elliott, Cody Gakpo, Ibrahima Konate and Ryan Gravenberch.
Premier League clubs looking at Elliott
Despite his limited minutes last season, Elliott’s stock remains high — especially after notching five goals in six appearances to help England win the U21 Euros this summer.
Elliott still has two years left to run on his Liverpool contract and won’t come cheap, but according to former Premier League scout Mick Brown, Newcastle and Tottenham are among the list of potential suitors — alongside Brighton and teams in the German Bundesliga.
“There’s no shortage of interest in Harvey Elliott,” he told Football Insider (15 July).
“Newcastle and Tottenham are the latest names I’ve heard, both of them are going to test the waters and see what it would take to bring him in.
“They’ll speak to his agent and find out what he’s asking for and what Liverpool are going to want.
“Both clubs will know what he can do, they’ll know the pros and the cons, and they’ll weigh those up against his price tag before making a move.
“Then he’s got the likes of Brighton and a few clubs in Germany having a look at him too.
“I think he could be an asset to any of those clubs because he’s a very talented player.
“These clubs will have been watching him with England’s Under-21s and after seeing the way he played in that side, they’re now prepared to make a move.
“He doesn’t have much of a place at Liverpool any more, so they’re ready to let him go.
“It could be one that drags on until late in the window, because he’s going to have to consider all of his options before making a final decision.”
