Fulham are plotting a sensational move to bring Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott back to the club this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The winger came through the youth ranks with the Cottagers, and made his first-team debut for the club in September 2018 when he was still just 15-years-old.
That was one of three first-team appearances that Elliott made for the London club across all competitions.
He was then sold to Liverpool in the summer of 2019, but is now in line for a return to Craven Cottage this summer.
This season, Elliott has found himself slipping down the pecking order at Anfield under new manager Arne Slot.
The 22-year-old started just two Premier League games this season as the Reds charged to the Premier League title.
As a result, Elliott has been backed to leave Liverpool this summer, and the player himself has hinted he is keen to move in order to play more regularly.
The winger is expected to move on from Merseyside this summer, and Fulham are now looking to take advantage of that by lining up a move to re-sign the winger, six years after he left Craven Cottage.
Marco Silva’s side are yet to make any new signings this summer, following their 11th place finish in the Premier League last season.
There have though been departures from the club already, with Willian leaving Fulham for a second time following the expiration of his contract.
That ensures that the Cottagers are in need of reinforcements out wide as they aim to freshen up their squad for the new campaign.
On Wednesday (25 June), Elliott scored twice in a stunning performance for England Under-21s to guide them to a place in the Euro 2025 final with a 2-1 win over their counterparts from the Netherlands.
That showing will only have added to the interest in the winger as Fulham plot a reunion with their former academy graduate.
As things stand, there are two years remaining on Elliott’s contract with Liverpool, ensuring his current side are in a strong position to negotiate bids that come in for him this summer.
