Inside Harvey Elliott’s Aston Villa nightmare - and the Liverpool clause leaving him trapped

Harvey Elliott has made only five appearances this season, and Aston Villa will not pay the £35 million fee to sign him permanently, says coach Unai Emery.

  • On Wednesday, Unai Emery said he left Harvey Elliott out of the travelling squad and that Aston Villa will not take up the permanent option, adding, `We are speaking with him and about his situation. He is not here with us.`
  • A foot injury early in the Slot era damaged Elliott's standing, and Emery has preferred other attacking midfielders while Monchi drove the deadline-day signing.
  • Regulatory limits and club selections show FIFA regulations bar Harvey Elliott from playing for more than two clubs, and his four appearances for Villa ended after his late-September start.
  • The agreement contains a sizeable 35m clause, and the deal becomes permanent if Elliott makes ten Premier League appearances for Villa.
  • With the January transfer window approaching, Harvey Elliott may be forced to set up camp on the fringes for the campaign's second half, while his long-term future remains bright.
