Harvey Elliott has insisted he will not be leaving Liverpool in the January transfer window after holding talks with manager Arne Slot.
The attacking midfielder has been linked with moves to Brighton and Borussia Dortmund amid a lack of game time with the Merseyside outfit.
Elliott has not started a Premier League game under Slot, with all eight of his appearances coming off the bench. It was the same story in the Uefa Champions League on Tuesday, but he managed to score the winning goal against Lille after replacing Curtis Jones at halftime.
The 21-year-old celebrated his deflected finish with a gesture suggesting that the speculation over his future was Anfield was just that, and afterwards he shot down any possibility of a move away.
Harvey Elliott shuts down Liverpool transfer rumours
“It is pretty clear to be honest – I am not leaving,” he told Amazon Prime Video. “This is my team and my club. I’m a massive fan and we’re in a great position so far this season.
“I haven’t really seen the chat, but my friends have messaged me and called me about a few things. It is always going to happen in January, especially after being out for a long time and not playing as much as I want to, but that is football.”
Elliott revealed that he spoke with Slot about his situation in the first team, but recognises that it is difficult breaking into a Liverpool side that is top of both the Premier League and Champions League tables.
