Liverpool: Harvey Elliott ready to seize his chance with the arrival of Andoni Iraola

A new chapter opens at Anfield. Arne Slot, in office for only one season, was ousted as Liverpool coach after a record deemed insufficient by managers Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes during the end-of-season review. Despite heavy summer investments and the status of favorite to retain the title, the Dutch technician fell from first to fifth place in the Premier League, also experiencing disappointments in the two national cups. Management therefore decided to thank him before the end of his contract, for compensation estimated at around 7 million euros.

In the process, Liverpool are about to formalize the arrival of Andoni Iraola as head coach. The 43-year-old Spanish technician should orchestrate a major overhaul of the squad this summer. Among the players likely to benefit from this new momentum is Harvey Elliott. According to the British press, the 23-year-old English attacking midfielder, returned from a complicated loan to Aston Villa (who refused to exercise the purchase option of 35 million euros), wants to play his card to the fullest. Despite a season in the shadows and transfer rumors – Leeds United in England or RB Leipzig abroad showing interest – Elliott wants to convince Iraola to give him another chance and assert himself in the Reds squad.

The club still view the former Fulham player as a valuable asset, and the change of manager could allow him to revive a career that has been on hold until now. Elliott, who has one year left on his contract, is currently refusing any idea of ​​leaving, preferring to seize the opportunity offered by this new start at Liverpool.
