Liverpool Duo Elliott and Kelleher Attract Premier League Interest | OneFootball

Elliott and Kelleher Facing Uncertain Futures at Liverpool

As the curtain closes on Liverpool’s title-winning campaign, the focus shifts not only to potential signings but also to those who may be nearing the exit door. On the latest episode of The Transfer Show on Anfield Index, Dave Davis offered a candid update on the futures of Harvey Elliott and Caoimhín Kelleher — two players whose time at Anfield could be reaching a crossroads.

Harvey Elliott’s Reality Check

Harvey Elliott has long been viewed as one of Liverpool’s brightest prospects. But as Davis explained, the attacking midfielder is now firmly on the radar of multiple Premier League clubs.

“Four weeks ago we said on this show about Harvey Elliott and him having loads of offers,” Davis revealed. “Wolves trying hard for him, Newcastle trying hard for him, even Spurs making enquiries.”

Elliott’s post-match interview after Liverpool’s recent defeat offered little reassurance for those hoping he will remain. “It kind of had an air of resignation,” Davis noted. Quoting Elliott’s own words — “It’s about what’s best for my career, it’s about reflecting and seeing what I can do… I’m here at the moment and I’m focusing on the final game” — Davis made it clear that the player is weighing up his options.

With Liverpool actively targeting more creativity in the transfer market, Elliott’s role may diminish further. “It’s going to get even harder for Harvey Elliott to get minutes,” Davis added.

Kelleher Ready to Move On

Meanwhile, Caoimhín Kelleher’s departure feels more a matter of when than if.

“Offers galore,” said Davis. “There’s a lot of clubs in the Premier League want Kelleher, make no bones about it at all.”

The 25-year-old is no longer just a talented backup. With Euro 2024 on the horizon and a desire to be a number one, the time is right for him to step out from the shadows. “Kelleher has just got to pick where he wants to go to make sure he is number one for his career,” Davis explained.

Though Liverpool would prefer to keep such a dependable deputy, the club also understand that Kelleher deserves his own platform.

Squad Evolution Underway

The departures of Elliott and Kelleher, should they materialise, will not be solitary events. As Dave Davis outlined, a broader squad refresh is already taking shape under Arne Slot.

“Departure-wise, with the likes of Elliott, Díaz, Nunez — we’re already seeing things happen before the window has even opened,” he pointed out.

And while some fans may see these exits as a step backwards, there’s an understanding that evolution is part of Liverpool’s long-term strategy. Davis concluded: “It’s not going to be quiet… there’s going to be plenty going on.”

Conclusion

Harvey Elliott and Caoimhín Kelleher have both served Liverpool with promise and professionalism. But football, especially at the top, rarely stands still. With competition for places growing and the need for game time becoming more pressing, the pair may soon seek fresh starts elsewhere. If they do move on, they will leave with more admiration than regret — symbols of a club evolving once again for the battles to come.
