He is confronted with serious competition in Anfield after the arrival of Florian Wirtz, while Jeremie can fill in Frimpong for Mo Salah on the right. Leipzig will try to convince Elliott that they are the best place for his next movement before they continue more detailed discussions with Liverpool.
The Bundesliga club will sell Simons to Chelsea for more than £ 60 million. They are also ready to bring in more than £ 70 million for Benjamin Sesko with Manchester United and Newcastle who is the signature of the rush hour out.
In June, Elliott was encouraged to 'get off and play' by Jermain Defoe after he helped England U21's to retain their European championship crown.
Speaking at Channel 4 After the match -winning Double of Elliott to the Netherlands in the semi -final, Defoe said: “There will be many clubs who watch this tournament.
“We said it earlier, he is too good not to play. When you produce in large tournaments like this against the best players, the two goals we saw tonight, he is a top player.
“For him he just has to go out and play, get himself in a team where he is one of the most important players, and just go out and express yourself and show how good you are because this performance is tonight, it's great.”
Joe Cole, who also analyzed the game for Channel 4, fully agreed with his former colleague in England. He said: “I love the boy.
“I think he plays football in the right way and I am really enthusiastic for him. Not only for this final, but I am also enthusiastic about his future for next year.
“He did a great job for Liverpool, and if he decides to continue, I still feel that there are levels. For a player to come to a tournament and to do what he did, there are levels for him to go up again, and I would like to see him play with that kind of passion and happiness on his face every week.”
