Liverpool star loved by Jurgen Klopp urged to force exit - 'He's done his time'

On the face of it, all is glorious at . The champions-elect will officially secure the Premier League title if they take just a point from their home game with Tottenham on Sunday, with manager Arne Slot set to cement a superb first season in charge at Anfield.

Slot is also expected to be backed in the transfer window this summer as he bids to strengthen his squad for another title and Champions League challenge in 2025/26. However, despite the club's stellar season, the future of several players remains in doubt.

Speculation is growing that Darwin Nunez will soon depart Merseyside. Another young star is now being urged to leave, with his stock at Liverpool falling dramatically after Jurgen Klopp's departure.

Harvey Elliott has made just 23 appearances in all competitions this season, most of which have come from the bench. A late winner at Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of , a tie they would eventually lose on penalties, hasn't persuaded Slot to offer him a more prominent role.

Former Red Joe Cole has now named the 22-year-old as one player who needs to move on for first-team football, telling Paddy Power: "For Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones, I think they're both fantastic players and are capable of playing for England, but unfortunately, Liverpool are very strong in that area of the pitch."

Slot's predecessor, Klopp, had regularly lauded Elliott's worth to his squad. Indeed, after leaving his role last summer, he expressed regret over giving the youngster more game time after signing him from Fulham as a 16-year-old.

"I'd love to see Harvey playing regularly," added Cole. "There are options for him and if he does become available, I think quite a few teams will be interested in him.

"He's a fantastic player and I'd like to see him leave Liverpool to play regular football because he's old enough and has done his time. I'd just love to see him play because he's such a fantastically talented player."
