Leeds United's actions indicate Harvey Elliott could be their next signing - verdict

Leeds United could potentially prepare a move for Liverpool playmaker Harvey Elliott in the upcoming transfer window.

The Whites have avoided relegation and will surely want to strengthen their squad ahead of next season with Premier League-proven players.

While the English attacker didn't have the best of spells on loan at Aston Villa during the 2025-26 campaign, there's no denying the talent he possesses.

Daniel Farke's only signing in the winter transfer window was Facundo Buananotte, who ended up being a major failure at Elland Road on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion, and Elliott may be the number 10 Leeds will go after next.

The Whites have seemed keen to strengthen their attacking-midfield position, and it would make sense for them to pursue a move for the former Fulham prodigy.

With Buonanotte returning to the Seagulls, the void the West Yorkshire outfit tried to fill with the 21-year-old Argentina international in January is open again.

Leeds United in driving seat for Harvey Elliott transfer

Elliott was a key player for Liverpool in Jurgen Klopp's final two seasons at Anfield before his role diminished under Arne Slot.

At Villa, the Birmingham club's apparent reluctance to trigger their obligation to buy the 23-year-old saw Unai Emery keep him out of the squad for most of the season.

Sources told Football Insider in May that Elliott is keen to move to Leeds, as he prioritises finding a club where he can receive consistent minutes.

The Englishman will enter the final year of his contract at the Merseyside outfit soon and they are planning to take their final chance to cash in on him.

Daniel Farke should entice another Liverpool player to Elland Road

Farke's shift to a three-at-the-back midway through last season means Leeds will undoubtedly need to bolster their defence in the summer if they lose any of their key players.

The Whites should look to add more numbers to their backline regardless of possible exits and Joe Gomez feels like the perfect candidate for them, with the centre-back's contract expiring in 2027.

Gomez has struggled to cement his place in Liverpool's starting lineup in recent years and the West Yorkshire outfit may have an opportunity to entice him to join them.
