Overview
- Liverpool are weighing a January recall, according to multiple reports, after Unai Emery has largely overlooked the 22-year-old at Aston Villa.
- Villa’s agreement reportedly obliges a permanent transfer at around £35m if Elliott reaches 10 outings, a threshold his limited use has kept distant.
- Elliott has featured five times for Villa, with his last appearance a four-minute cameo on October 2, and he has since been mostly unused.
- Because he played for Liverpool before joining Villa, competition rules prevent him from appearing for a third club this season.
- Coverage notes Liverpool’s January priority may be a defender, while some former players urge patience and time for Elliott to settle at Villa Park.
