  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Elliott has been in inspired form for England's Under-21 side, scoring four goals in the ongoing European Championship to help Lee Carsley's side reach the final. Two of those strikes came on Wednesday evening in the 2-1 victory over the Netherlands, including an 85th-minute winner.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The 2024-25 campaign was a tough one for Elliott. He made 28 appearances for Liverpool but managed only two starts in the Premier League, both of which came when the title was already wrapped up. He has previously admitted his frustration with his limited role at Anfield and former Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor has now urged the midfielder to leave Merseyside this summer.

• WHAT AGBONLAHOR SAID

  Agbonlahor said as quoted by : "He deserves to go and play and start week in, week out. He is 22 now and everyone has said this about James McAtee at Manchester City but he needs to play. He needs to be getting 40 games a season and he isn't getting that at Liverpool.

  "I would push for a move if I was him. I know it is hard to leave a big club like Liverpool but for him and the club, a move is perfect.

  "I am sure Liverpool will look at it, and realise the fee has probably gone up for how good he has been [at the Euros]. He might not think he is too far off at Liverpool and go to a team fighting for Europe, or try a different league."
