'I don't want to be wasting years' - Harvey Elliot opens door to Liverpool exit as he bemoans lack of minutes under Arne Slot

<p>Elliott joined Liverpool's youth system in 2019 from Fulham after having come through the Cottagers' ranks. The Reds have seen the London-born midfielder slowly grow into the senior team; however, the 22-year-old has not been a major part of the first team. This season, Elliott only managed 822 minutes under Slot, with players like Wataru Endo and Curtis Jones getting priority. The midfielder has now opened up that he may be considering leaving the Reds, so as not to 'waste years'.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to the media while on duty with England U-21, Elliott said: "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.</p><p>"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.</p><p>"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."</p>

WHAT ELLIOTT SAID

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/liverpool-told-pay-florian-wirtz-transfer-blockbuster-offer-rejected-bayer-leverkusen/blt12ebaa60616f96e5" target="_blank">Liverpool are set to sign another midfielder in the form of Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz</a> if they can reach an agreement with Die Werkself. However, the signing will also push Elliott further down the pecking order. As such, it may be likely that the England U-21 star may be headed for the exit doors at Anfield.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/uncapped-players-england-give-debut-before-euro-2028/blt4831a0652896b8ef" target="_blank">The midfielder has yet to make his way into the England senior squad</a>, and he will also likely be hoping that a fresh start with another side could help him rise into Thomas Tuchel's shortlist of midfielders for the Three Lions, with the World Cup approaching fast.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR ELLIOTT?
