BRING HIM HOME: FANS DEMAND ARNE SLOT RECALLS STRUGGLING HARVEY ELLIOTT
Harvey Elliott is overlooked at Aston Villa, sparking fan calls for Arne Slot to recall him. Due to FIFA rules, returning to Liverpool is his only escape from the bench.
It looks like Arne Slot may face calls to bring Harvey Elliott back to Liverpool. The midfielder is struggling for game time at Aston Villa.
The England U21 player has only played in five games for Villa, starting in only two. To make it worse, Unai Emery hasn't put him in the Premier League squad since the Tottenham game in October.
Elliott was left out again during Villa's 2-1 victory over Arsenal. Jadon Sancho was chosen for the squad instead, even though he hasn't played well recently. After a late goal, Villa is now second in the league.
Emery said that Emiliano Buendia's good performance, which has helped his Villa career recently, is one reason why Elliott hasn't been playing much.
Liverpool fans have been using social media to ask Slot to bring Elliott back to Anfield. One X user said, Another Villa game without Harvey Elliott. Bring him home!
Another user said, I'd rather he were on our bench than theirs. He deserves better.
Someone else said, "It's ridiculous that Harvey Elliott can't even make the bench for Aston Villa." I like and respect Unai Emery, but better managers than him have found plenty of work for Harvey.
Reports say that Villa's choice to sign Elliott was mainly because of Monchi, the club's former president of football operations. Monchi left less than a month after Elliott came to the team, which may be due to disagreements with Emery about transfer targets.
Elliott is in a tough spot now. FIFA rules say a player can't play for more than two clubs in one season. Since he has already played for Liverpool and Villa, his only options are to either break into Villa’s first team or go back to Liverpool under Slot. Right now, both seem unlikely.
Football Insider reports that Liverpool isn't happy with the situation. Both clubs are expected to talk before the January transfer window, when Elliott might be brought back.
Slot said he knows how Elliott must feel as he struggles to get playing time at Villa. During a press conference before Liverpool's game with Leeds, the Reds manager seemed to feel for the 22-year-old’s situation.
Slot said he hasn't talked to him much; I haven’t had contact with him a lot, I think only once or twice, and that was before he played Feyenoord away and after, Slot said. But that had more to do with him playing against a former club of mine, so no, I haven’t spoken to him.
“I am aware of his situation, of course. I knew how difficult it already was for him over here, so I think I know how he feels at this moment, but you should ask those questions at Villa and not over here when it’s about his playing time.”
ANALYTICAL: WHY £400M-SPENDING LIVERPOOL STILL DESPERATELY NEEDS ARDA GüLER
Liverpool joins rivals Manchester United and Arsenal in the race to sign highly-rated Real Madrid attacking midfielder Arda Güler, following their UCL win.
Liverpool, the reigning Premier League champs, are set to host Brighton and Hove Albion at Anfield this Saturday afternoon.
Arne Slot's team hasn't been doing great lately, with only two wins in their last ten Premier League games. They recently tied 3-3 with Leeds United, who are also having a tough time.
But the Reds did get a win in the Champions League on Tuesday, beating Inter Milan 1-0. This gets them closer to qualifying for the next stage.
Now, after that big win in Milan, word is Liverpool wants to sign one of La Liga's biggest stars.
CaughtOffside says that Liverpool and Manchester United are both interested in Real Madrid's Arda Güler.
The report also says that Arsenal, who are leading the Premier League right now, also want the Turkish player, who's been playing really well this season.
Guler, who's 20, moved to Real from Fenerbahce in 2023. He's played in over 80 games for the Spanish team in all competitions.
He's scored 15 goals and assisted 18 times during that time. His play for Xabi Alonso's team has caught the attention of quite a few English teams.
The report says that all three Premier League teams are seriously interested in Güler, who mainly plays as an attacking midfielder but can also play on the wing.
Güler's contract with Real Madrid lasts until the end of the 2028/29 season, but it sounds like clubs might try to get him to leave Madrid next year.
Liverpool's manager, Slot, reportedly wants to add more creative players to his team, even after spending over £400 million on new players this summer. He thinks Güler is the right guy for the job.
VIRGIL VAN DIJK DENIES RIFT: MO SALAH'S RANT IS "BLOWN UP" BY MEDIA; I WANT HIM TO STAY
Virgil van Dijk claimed Mohamed Salah's "thrown under the bus" comments haven't affected the team, stating the internal atmosphere and training remain "normal."
Virgil van Dijk claims Mohamed Salah's recent outburst hasn't messed with the Liverpool team's vibe. He said training felt normal.
After Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds, where Salah sat on the bench, he said he felt thrown under the bus by the club, blamed for their bad season, and hinted he might leave in January.
This rant got him in trouble. He didn't travel with the team to Milan for their Champions League game against Inter, which they won 1-0 thanks to a late penalty by Dominik Szoboszlai.
Van Dijk told Sky Sports that even after Salah's comments, things were fine within the team.
It wasn't that hard to deal with. "It's just how he felt after the game," Van Dijk said. When we came in on Sunday, the team felt the same as always.
We know what's up, but the media is blowing it up. We just need to deal with the fact that we had a big game and another one coming up this weekend. We'll see what happens.
When asked if he'd spoken to Salah and what they talked about, Van Dijk said, Of course I spoke to him. But that's private.
Salah's time at Liverpool seems uncertain, but Van Dijk wants him to stay: I've been with Mo for a long time. He's helped me a lot here, and I've helped him. We've done it together.
Salah mentioned issues with the club, feeling benched without reason, and a strained relationship with the manager, suggesting someone at the club doesn't want him there. He also spoke about his contract, saying he thought he'd retire at Liverpool, but now things are uncertain.
He's leaving for the African Cup of Nations soon. I hope he does great. "I don't know what will happen next," Van Dijk added.
I hope he comes back to Liverpool, but it's up to the club and Mo. We're friends no matter what, and we've been through a lot together. We'll see what happens.
Arne Slot's team was short some players in Milan, including Cody Gakpo and Federico Chiesa.
When asked if Salah had let the team down, Van Dijk responded, I won't say if someone let someone down. He didn't travel because of what he said after the game. He trained normally yesterday. We'll see what happens on Friday when we train again. I'm focused on the team. Mo is still part of the team for now, so we'll see.
Andy Robertson, who has played with Salah for years, hopes he doesn't leave on bad terms.
It's tough. "We're talking about one of the best players ever to play here," Robertson said. I joined at the same time as him. Whatever happened, we're all in this together.
About Salah's future, he said, That's not up to me. I love playing with Mo, and I hope we keep playing together.
