West Ham United are this afternoon being linked with a move for Liverpool youngster Harvey Elliott.
The report comes via TalkSPORT commentator Ben Jacobs, following Elliott’s superb performance for England U21s in last night’s European Championship semi-final win over the Netherlands.
However, if West Ham want to land the Three Lions hero, they’ll have to act fast. Brighton & Hove Albion are believed to be close to agreeing a £40 million deal with Liverpool to take the 22-year-old to the South Coast.
Arne Slot’s Liverpool are looking to recoup funds after a strong early transfer window, and the title winning Anfield boss has openly admitted that Elliott deserves more regular game time.
The former Fulham academy star, who grew up in Chertsey, has been one of Lee Carsley’s standout performers as England’s U21s march toward the final. His trickery, creativity, and attacking flair have caught the eye—and he now finds himself in high demand.
A return to London could presumably appeal to Elliott, but interest is fierce. Now would be the perfect time for West Ham’s owners to step in, inject some of their own money, and sign a player who could instantly lift the mood around the London Stadium.
We’re the 18th biggest club in the crisis. Brighton are only the 24th. He’s still not going to come to us though.
This kid looks perfect for West Ham, down to earth, supremely talented and would connect with the fan base. Have severe doubts we will sign him but live in hope COyI!!! Defo the calibre we are looking for but question marks of the board !!!
Even if he were to consider coming to us, you can bet Sullivan will dither then offer 15 million and say he tried to get him
We’ve been here before.
Get him in. He could become our next Carlton Cole or Andy Carroll. Dream time.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 absolutely no chance whatsoever.
Whilst we’re there see if we can get Darwin Nunes and Diego Jota as well cos there up for sale too apparently 😅
Tin pot
Wonderkid? He’s 22!
Up to what age can someone be a wonderkid? He’s 22 FFS.
He’s better than us and better than Brighton.
Priceless! There’s not a hope in hell that a young, talented footballer with a PL winners medal and Champions League experience is not going to be snapped up by an elite club either domestically or internationally. It’s the usual BS just the same as Jobe Bellingham and numerous others! Keep the faith and a sense of humour it’s the only way to survive!
Any player with a hint of ambition would not sign for West Ham.
Having a laugh,about as much chance of signing Harvey Elliott as signing me,I am 93.He is more ambitious than coming here!
I’m sorry that this sounds negative but we have no chance. We couldn’t catch a cold at the moment let alone of the stand out youngsters of English football. By the time Sullivan says yes, he’ll be at Brighton and if we do manage to get to talk to him the Sullivan low offer will preclude us.
No chance – He’s no Jordan Hugill
About as much chance of signing Harvey Elliott as taking me on ,I am 93. he is much too good for West Ham.
$40 million. Westham have not got £40. More lies speak by Sullivan to make Westham skins relevant
Why on earth would he choose us on Brighton?!?!
That would be a great signing
For 40 M
I would love it if we got Elliott.
But realistically…….NOT A CHANCE!!!
Worth £40m all day long but sad to say that we can’t really compete with Brighton these days. Would be amazed if we find the cash unless we get decent money for Kudus and Paqueta.
Ha ha ha, you are so funny Gonzo, thinking that West Ham have got a chance of getting Harvey Elliott from Liverpool. Do me a favour! 😂
“They’ll have to act fast:. 5 words you would never use to describe a West Ham transfer.
The right move for a quality player
