"Villa are insisting Elliott is part of their plans, but it is clear things are not going well. He did join with an obligation built in, but in theory, that could possibly see him return. We may not have seen the last of Elliott at Anfield as they also have a buy-back, and Liverpool put that in as they rate him so highly."
"He is not a guaranteed starter for them, and it will be interesting to see if the young playmaker can establish himself as a player for the West Midlands club. Elliott has one goal to his name this season. He has shown his quality at Liverpool, and there is no doubt that he has the ability to develop into a key player for Aston Villa."
Harvey Elliott, 22, joined Aston Villa on loan from Liverpool with an obligation to make the move permanent at season's end. He has struggled to meet expectations and is not a guaranteed starter, scoring one goal so far. Elliott previously showed quality at Liverpool and is still adapting to his new environment. Liverpool included a buy-back option and are monitoring his situation closely. Villa insist he is part of their plans but acknowledge current difficulties. Elliott can operate centrally or on the flanks and offers chance-creating and goal-scoring potential if he fulfills his ability in coming weeks.
