Harvey Elliott’s Liverpool future has been under scrutiny ever since he came back from the Under-21 Euros with England.
Harvey Elliott to West Ham? Deal Hinges on Liverpool’s Valuation
Harvey Elliott could be on the move this summer — but only if Liverpool are willing to set a fair price.
The 22-year-old midfielder was once seen as a key figure under Jurgen Klopp, regularly rotating with Curtis Jones and playing a vital role in Liverpool’s attacking transitions. However, under new boss Arne Slot, Elliott’s minutes have taken a hit. He made fewer than 30 appearances last season, often finding himself on the bench as Ryan Gravenberch cemented his place in midfield.
That drop in involvement has sparked interest from several clubs — most notably West Ham United.
West Ham Pushing for a Deal
According to journalist Jacob Steinberg, the Hammers are still very much in the race for Elliott’s signature, but the final decision rests on how much Liverpool demand.

West Ham’s summer has already seen movement, including the addition of Kyle Walker-Peters — a signing expected to fit into Graham Potter’s new wing-back system. With midfield their clear priority, Elliott remains a top target, but not at any cost.
> “West Ham have a lot to do and midfield is the priority, so the budget needs to be used accordingly,” Steinberg added, hinting that Potter’s recruitment team have other targets in mind if the Reds hold out for too high a fee.
A Gamble Worth Taking?
Elliott was a standout for England at the Under-21 Euros, playing a crucial role in their triumph. His technical ability, vision, and confidence in possession make him one of the most exciting young midfielders in the country.
If he joins West Ham, he would instantly become one of the most talented players in their squad — someone capable of driving attacks and lifting the team’s creativity. At just 22, there’s still a lot of growth ahead, but also a price tag to match.
Whether West Ham meet Liverpool’s valuation remains to be seen. But if a deal is struck, this could be a huge boost for Potter’s rebuild in East London — and a fresh start for a player who simply needs consistent minutes to shine.
