Overview
- Elliott has not featured for Aston Villa since October 2 and remains on five appearances, with only 96 Premier League minutes this season.
- The loan includes a reported £35m obligation to buy if he reaches 10 games, a threshold that now appears unlikely to be met.
- Liverpool’s frustration over his lack of playing time has been reported, with claims of possible intervention in the loan arrangement.
- Conflicting coverage persists on a potential MLS move in January, with Football Insider suggesting interest and BBC Sport reporting it is not being considered.
- Slot said he has had little contact with Elliott and deferred selection questions to Villa, while Unai Emery cited strong competition and said decisions will come later.
