Brighton & Hove Albion are reportedly the front-runners to sign 22-year-old English playmaker Harvey Elliott from Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Football Insider, Harvey Elliott is the subject of interest from Brighton & Hove Albion. The Seagulls are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a versatile playmaker in the summer transfer window. So, the 22-year-old disgruntled Liverpool midfielder has emerged as a target for the Premier League outfit.

Brighton & Hove Albion are the front-runners to secure the Englishman’s services in the summer transfer window, with Fabian Hurzeler keen on landing him. Meanwhile, the Seagulls are increasingly optimistic about signing Elliott from Liverpool amid his dwindling game time.

Harvey Elliott and his Liverpool lurch

Harvey Elliott has seen his progress come to a stuttering halt since joining Liverpool from Fulham in from Fulham in July 2019. While the 22-year-old has been a highly-rated playmaker for a long time, he has yet to establish a foothold in the first-team squad at Anfield. The youngster’s struggles continued in the 2024/25 season, as he did not even manage 821 minutes of game time across 24 appearances in all competitions.

While recent reports have claimed that the English youth international wants to remain at Anfield, he is increasingly frustrated by the lack of game time. Meanwhile, Elliott has no shortage of suitors pursuing his signature, with Brighton & Hove Albion among the clubs vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.

Move across the Premier League on the cards?

Brighton & Hove Albion hold a long-standing interest in Harvey Elliott, and they considered signing him from Liverpool earlier this year. The Seagulls are combing the market for a versatile playmaker heading into the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding Joao Pedro’s long-term future.

So, Elliott has emerged as a viable target for Brighton & Hove Albion, and the Seagulls lead the battle for his signature. Meanwhile, they are increasingly confident of sealing a deal for the 22-year-old Englishman in the summer transfer window.

Brighton’s growing optimism may translate to a tangible result, and with Florian Wirtz joining Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen, Elliott will likely depart from Anfield in the summer transfer window. So, it will be interesting to see if he moves to the Amex Stadium in the coming weeks.
