According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Fulham have held talks regarding Harvey Elliott when Liverpool were discussing a move for USMNT international Antonee Robinson.
The 22-year-old Liverpool prospect has struggled for regular game time, and it will be interesting to see if Fulham can bring him back to the club. The former Fulham youth prospect has shown his quality in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League with Liverpool.
Even though the Englishman is not a regular starter for Liverpool, he has shown that he is an elite talent. Elliott could prove to be an excellent acquisition for most Premier League clubs, with a few reportedly keen on signing him, including Fulham.
The 22-year-old midfielder needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and sitting on the bench at Liverpool is unlikely to benefit him. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool are willing to provide him with more opportunities in the coming season. They should provide him with gametime assurances in the summer.
Liverpool are keeping tabs on quality defenders like Robinson. They will need to sign a reliable left-back in the summer. The United States international should prove to be an excellent addition. Robinson is a proven performer in the Premier League, and he could be the ideal alternative to Andrew Robertson.
The Scottish international is clearly on the decline, and he has not been at his best for over a year. Liverpool need to replace him if they want to fight for major trophies in the coming season. Signing the Fulham full-back, who is at the peak of his powers, could prove to be a wise decision.
The defender will be tempted to join Liverpool as well. It would be a major step up in his career, and he would get to fight for major trophies with them. Liverpool are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down. Meanwhile, Elliott is versatile enough to operate in multiple roles, and he could transform Fulham going forward if he joins the club.
