The 22-year-old talent found himself limited to a mere 18 appearances in the club&#8217;s Premier League title-winning campaign, featuring in the starting line-up just twice as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/liverpool-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a> secured their landmark 20th league title.<\/p>\n<p>Elliott, who is a lifelong supporter of the Reds, was visibly emotional during the team&#8217;s jubilant festivities, fuelling speculation about his potential departure from the club he adores. Speaking ahead of England&#8217;s under-21 European Championship opener against Czech Republic in Slovakia, the midfielder candidly admitted: &#8220;It&#8217;s just a situation that me and the team have to have a conversation about because I&#8217;m coming into an age now where I&#8217;m 22, I&#8217;m going to be 23 next season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t really want to be wasting years on my career because it&#8217;s a short career. You don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going to happen. I need to reflect. I need to see if I&#8217;m content in doing what I&#8217;m doing and how can I improve as a player because that&#8217;s the most important thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just want to improve and be the best possible version of myself. If that&#8217;s to go somewhere else, then it&#8217;s a decision that I&#8217;m going to have to make and I just need to see what happens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the youngster was quick to emphasise his deep affection for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/liverpool-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a>: &#8220;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&#8217;s just about what&#8217;s best for my career.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elliott&#8217;s standout moment of the season occurred during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/liverpool-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a>&#8216;s thrilling 1-0 first-leg Champions League triumph over Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n<p>In a tense match at Parc Des Princes, Elliott made a dramatic entrance as a substitute in the 86th minute and netted the decisive goal just 47 seconds later, steering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/liverpool-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a> towards a commanding position.<\/p>\n<p>Elliott had hoped that his contribution would be a catalyst for more playing time: &#8220;I thought so. I thought PSG was kind of a high for me, especially with the Premier League game coming up a few days later. I thought it was an opportunity for me to get a start and showcase what I can do and just get a nice run out but the boss is the boss.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s the man in charge. He&#8217;s the reason why we&#8217;ve won the league, because of his decisions. His decisions were not to start me, I can&#8217;t complain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite the limited minutes, Elliott celebrated a title victory with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/liverpool-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a> finishing a solid 10 points ahead of their nearest rivals, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/arsenal-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even with a Premier League winner&#8217;s medal to his name, Elliott considers this season to have been challenging on a personal level, particularly after sustaining a fractured foot in September.<\/p>\n<p>He remarked: &#8220;It&#8217;s been a bit different. The game time hasn&#8217;t been as much. It&#8217;s been a difficult season I would say. It&#8217;s been a season where, especially in the Premier League, we&#8217;ve dominated and coming into a team that&#8217;s doing so well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After my injury, I think it was always going to be hard but I&#8217;d hoped I would have got some more opportunities but football is football.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool&#8216;s Harvey Elliott has openly discussed his desire not to &#8220;waste years&#8221; on the bench in a clear&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169735,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,70799,4884,22689,179,763,11815,16,8857,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-169734","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-england-u21s","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-harvey-elliott","13":"tag-liverpool","14":"tag-liverpool-fc","15":"tag-premier-league-transfer-news","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-under-21s","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114652356441543771","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
