Tottenham Hotspur Are Eager To Land This Liverpool Playmaker: Good Option For Frank?
In a recent post on X, journalist Sebastien Vidal claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are eager to land Liverpool playmaker Harvey Elliott this summer. It has been mentioned that Spurs are open to meeting the Merseyside club's demands and are willing to offer the English talent regular first-team football this season. Elliott's Important Role At Merseyside Last Season Elliott managed to shine at times for the Reds in the previous campaign when he put in a handful of promising displays for them in the final third. The 22-year-old scored five goals and earned three assists in 28 matches for the Merseyside outfit last season on all fronts. The English talent was not shy of having a strike at goal as he averaged 4.12 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. However, he only kept 23.5% of his attempts on target. Elliott was even accurate when distributing possession in the final third, based on his pass completion rate of 82.2% in league football (stats via His current contract at Anfield will run out in the summer of 2027. Thus, Tottenham would have to make a convincing offer if they are serious about recruiting Elliott in this transfer window. LONDON, ENGLAND – AUGUST 10: Harvey Elliott of Liverpool has a penalty saved by Dean Henderson of Crystal Palace (not pictured), during the 2025 FA Community Shield match between Crystal Palace and Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on August 10, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Is Elliott A Good Option For Tottenham Hotspur? Elliott can shoot the ball with power and precision from long range and has got the vision to create some inviting chances for his teammates in and around the opponent's penalty area. The English talent is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can chip in by scoring and creating a few important goals for his team. He is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also serve as a box-to-box midfielder or as a right-sided wide player if asked to do so. Elliott would no doubt enhance the quality of Tottenham boss Thomas Frank's attack. He is good enough to compete for a regular starting spot at the North London club this season. At 22, there is still a lot of room for improvement in Elliott's game. He would be an excellent option for Spurs to consider in this summer transfer window. Elliott would also help Tottenham challenge across all competitions over the next few years. Thus, Frank would be wise to go all out to secure the Liverpool sensation's services soon.

Liverpool Identify This PSG Winger As An Alternative For Isak: Should Slot Launch A Move?
In a recent report, journalist Fabrizio Romano stated that Liverpool have identified Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola as a target. It has been mentioned that the Reds are showing interest in recruiting the French wide player this summer. Barcola's Impressive Record In French Football Last Season Barcola enjoyed an excellent run of form at the French club in the previous campaign when he put in a string of impressive displays for them on the left flank. The French wing wizard found the back of the net 21 times and picked up 21 assists in 64 matches for PSG last season across various competitions. The 22-year-old was not shy of having a strike at goal as he averaged 3.05 shots per 90 minutes in Ligue 1. He kept 51.4% of his attempts on target. Barcola was even tidy when interchanging possession with his teammates in the opponent's half after making 81.7% of his attempted passes in the French top tier (stats via Barcola's current deal at the French club will run out in the summer of 2028, which could make it tough for Liverpool to land him on a cut-price deal this month. ATLANTA, GEORGIA – JULY 05: Bradley Barcola #29 of Paris Saint-Germain battles with Kingsley Coman #11 of FC Bayern Munich during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 quarter-final match between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Bayern München at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on July 05, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by) Should Liverpool Boss Arne Slot Launch A Move For Barcola? Barcola has got the pace to cause a lot of headaches for his marker out in the wide areas. He can shoot the ball with power from long range and has got the eye to play some decisive passes on the offensive third of the field. Barcola is primarily a left-winger but can also play as a right-sided wide player or as a centre-forward if needed. The French talent has proven his worth as a consistent goal-scorer in Ligue 1. However, the jury is still out on whether he can cope with the physicality and high intensity of the Premier League if the Reds manage to bring him on board this summer. Barcola would no doubt enhance the quality of Liverpool head coach Arne Slot's frontline. He has what it takes to help the Reds compete for a lot of major silverware over the next decade. At 22, Barcola has the potential to be a generational talent. Therefore, Liverpool should consider launching a move for him soon as he would be a welcome addition to Slot's match-day squad.
