It is reported that there are Premier League and Bundesliga clubs tracking Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott amid his struggle for minutes under Arne Slot.
The 21-year-old missed two months of the season with a broken foot but has been unable to maintain a significant role on his return. In his seven Premier League appearances so far this year, Elliott has amassed just 43 minutes.
Sky Sports News Elliott’s marginal role has drawn attention across Europe. Brighton & Hove Albion and Borussia Dortmund are named as suitors, but there are believed to be a number of sides across the continent ready to monitor developments over his future.
Asked about his feelings towards Elliott, Slot insisted that he remains a big fan of the midfielder, but that he struggles to find minutes for LiverpoolThe reduced margins of victory this season, which according to him, make it difficult to turn to players who are not at their highest level.
“He’s a talented player,” Slot emphasized. “It’s been that long for us. He’s come on a lot in the last few weeks and he’s getting his minutes there, but as it is for him, as it is for everyone else, they’re competing with a lot of other good players. .
“He was very unlucky that after two games he got it injuredhe was away for a long time. And from what I’ve seen so far, with almost all our players out for a long time, in this league, at this pace, at this intensity and with the quality we have, the other teams have it too, it’s not that easy to come back and be at your best immediately.
“I see that not just with Harvey, I see it with almost every other player who’s been out for five, six, seven or eight weeks. That’s the balance we have to find, giving them playing time to get back .their best level but they can still win every game.
“Our margins are consistently small. If you go 5-0 you can give half an hour or half an hour or even more to players who have been out for a long time. But that’s not how we win or win. Our games so far it’s also the reason why if we’ve been a bit unlucky once or twice, we can tie a game or lose a game.”
