Harvey Elliott loves Liverpool but doesn't want to ‘waste years' on sidelines
The 22-year-old was limited to just 18 appearances during the last Premier League season, starting only twice as Liverpool went on to win their 20th title. Elliott was named in Lee Carsley's under-21 squad for the European Championship in Slovakia where England get their campaign under way against Czech Republic on Thursday. The boyhood Reds fan was left in tears during Liverpool's on-pitch title celebrations, which may hint that he sees his future away from Anfield. Asked whether he is considering leaving the club he loves, he replied: 'It's just a situation that me and the team have to have a conversation about because I'm coming into an age now where I'm 22, I'm going to be 23 next season. 'I don't really want to be wasting years on my career because it's a short career. You don't know what's going to happen. 'I need to reflect. I need to see if I'm content in doing what I'm doing and how can I improve as a player because that's the most important thing. 'I just want to improve and be the best possible version of myself. If that's to go somewhere else, then it's a decision that I'm going to have to make and I just need to see what happens. 'Nothing makes me want to leave. I love the club, I love the fans, the team. I support them as well. But most importantly, it's just about what's best for my career.' Elliott's high point of the campaign came during Liverpool's smash-and-grab 1-0 first-leg Champions League victory over Paris St Germain. After facing a barrage of pressure at Parc Des Princes, Elliott climbed off the bench in the 86th minute and swept home the winner just 47 seconds later to put Liverpool in the driving seat. Elliott thought that moment would ignite his season, so he was slightly disappointed to find his subsequent game time limited. Asked if he expected he would get more minutes, he added: 'I thought so. I thought PSG was kind of a high for me, especially with the Premier League game coming up a few days later. 'I thought it was an opportunity for me to get a start and showcase what I can do and just get a nice run out but the boss is the boss. 'He's the man in charge. He's the reason why we've won the league, because of his decisions. His decisions were not to start me, I can't complain.' Elliott was crowned a title winner as Liverpool finished a convincing 10 points in front of second-placed Arsenal. Despite his Premier League medal, Elliott thinks it has been a difficult season for him personally after also suffering a fractured foot in September. He said: 'It's been a bit different. The game time hasn't been as much. It's been a difficult season I would say. It's been a season where, especially in the Premier League, we've dominated and coming into a team that's doing so well. 'After my injury, I think it was always going to be hard but I'd hoped I would have got some more opportunities but football is football.'

Tijjani Reijnders ‘really excited' to link up with Man City for Club World Cup
The 26-year-old Netherlands midfielder has agreed a five-year contract to move to City from AC Milan for 55million euros (approximately £46million) and told Italian media he had spent Sunday conducting a medical with Pep Guardiola's side. City will play their first match of the Club World Cup against Morocco's Wydad AC on June 18 and the arrival of Reijnders could also impact the future of Jack Grealish at the Etihad. First win secured on the road to 2026. 🇳🇱🌎#FINNED — Tijjani Reijnders (@T_Reijnders) June 8, 2025 Reijnders told Gazzetta: 'The medical? I couldn't wait to do it. The plan is to take part at the Club World Cup with City. I'm really excited about that. 'Doing that means I'll get to know my new team-mates sooner.' Reijnders was a bright spark in a disappointing season for Milan, who only finished eighth in Serie A, missing out on qualification for Europe. Reijnders, who joined the Italian giants from AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2023, scored 15 goals in 2024-25 and will bolster Guardiola's midfield options following the departure of Kevin De Bruyne. As first reported by the Daily Telegraph on Wednesday, England international Grealish looks set to miss out on City's final 35-man squad for the Club World Cup. The 29-year-old was not summoned from the bench in last month's FA Cup final defeat by Crystal Palace and omitted from the squad for the last game of the season at Fulham altogether.
