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.”
WHY DID JEREMY JACQUET SNUB CHELSEA FOR LIVERPOOL? THE SECRET VIRGIL CONNECTION
Liverpool secure Jeremy Jacquet in a £60m Deadline Day coup. The 20-year-old chose Anfield over Chelsea for a summer move.
Liverpool turned heads on Transfer Deadline Day when Arne Slot jumped into the mix and snapped up one of Europe’s brightest young talents.
The Reds dropped £55 million up front—plus another potential £5 million in add-ons—to bring in Jeremy Jacquet. He’ll link up with his new teammates this summer. Chelsea hovered around the deal too, but Jacquet chose Liverpool over the Blues.
French football pundit Julian Laurens isn’t shy about his excitement. He told Sky Sports, “He’s the real deal. Sure, he’s only 20. He hasn’t played for France yet, and you won’t find him in the Champions League or Europa League. But he’s already shown so much. Last season, Rennes brought him back from a second division loan, and this year, playing under Habib Beye, he’s just kept improving. You can’t miss with this kid. He’s going to be special.
“He reminds me of when William Saliba broke through at Saint-Etienne, or even Wesley Fofana. The point is, if you really value untapped talent, you’re willing to pay big. And Liverpool just did—because Jacquet’s that promising.”
Jacquet grew up in Bondy, the same Paris suburb that produced Kylian Mbappe, William Saliba, and Randal Kolo Muani. It’s up in Seine-Saint-Denis, northeast of central Paris.
His football education, though, happened at Rennes out in Brittany. He came up through their academy, playing alongside guys like Desire Doue—who won the Champions League with PSG—and Tottenham’s Mathys Tel.
Back then, Jacquet idolised Paul Pogba, but once they moved him to centre-back, he started looking up to Virgil van Dijk.
He made his first-team debut for Rennes in January 2024, then went on loan to Clermont Foot 63, who were fighting relegation in Ligue 1. Even after they went down, Rennes kept him out on loan because he did so well with the French U19 squad.
But in February 2025, Rennes called him back, and he’s been a regular for Habib Beye ever since.
Asked about his playing style, Jacquet said, “I’m calm on the ball—maybe I look a little nonchalant, but I’m always focused. What makes me stand out is playing out from the back and breaking lines with the right pass.”
JEREMY JACQUET UPDATE: FABRIZIO ROMANO CONFIRMS LIVERPOOL INTEREST BUT RENNES DEMAND CLUB-RECORD FEE
Liverpool is battling Chelsea and Bayern Munich for Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet as Arne Slot faces a mounting injury crisis.
Liverpool really wants to sign Jeremy Jacquet this month, but with Chelsea, Man United, and Arsenal also circling, it looks like they’ll have to wait until summer.
They just locked in a spot in the Champions League last 16 after cruising past Qarabag FK, so things are looking good on that front. This season, they’ve already faced a couple of those big clubs—snatching a last-gasp win over Atletico thanks to Van Dijk’s 92nd-minute header, but coming up short with a 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in Turkey.
On Wednesday, Ryan Gravenberch ended up playing centre-back because Joe Gomez is out injured, and Ibrahima Konate is still away after his father passed away. They're really stretched at the back, especially with Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni both dealing with long-term injuries. The club decided not to go after Marc Guehi this month, which let Manchester City snap him up for under £30 million.
Now, Liverpool is eyeing Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet. L’Equipe reported in January that Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Man United, Arsenal, and Liverpool all want him. Fabrizio Romano gave an update, saying Liverpool would love to get the deal done now, but Rennes just don’t want to sell until summer. So, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bayern are all talking to Rennes and Jacquet’s people, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
With all these injuries piling up, people are wondering if Liverpool might try to bring in someone before the window closes. Arne Slot responded, saying the club always tries to make smart decisions, thinking about both the short and long term. That’s why they focus on signing young talent who can still develop—sometimes you just have to be patient and trust the process.
He pointed out that Liverpool doesn’t have a massive squad packed with four right-backs, a dozen midfielders, or a handful of strikers. They need to be clever about their moves, balancing immediate needs with future plans.
As for the latest on injuries, Slot said they’ll see how Jeremie Frimpong is doing—maybe he won’t be fit for Saturday, but he could be ready soon after. With just one game a week coming up, injuries should ease up a bit, but you never know with football.
