Tottenham Accelerates £40M Swoop for Liverpool's Rising Star
8 Aug
Summary
- Tottenham in talks to sign Harvey Elliott from Liverpool
- £40M deal in the works as Spurs seek playmaker after Maddison injury
- Elliott struggling for minutes at Liverpool, seen as potential bargain
As of August 8th, 2025, Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly accelerated their efforts to sign Harvey Elliott from Liverpool in a £40 million transfer deal. The move comes as Spurs seek to bolster their midfield options after James Maddison was ruled out for a significant period due to an ACL injury that will require surgery.
Maddison's absence has left Tottenham short on creativity, with the recent departure of Heung-min Son further exacerbating their need for a new playmaker. Elliott, who has struggled for consistent minutes at Liverpool, has emerged as a prime target for Spurs, who have been in talks with the Reds for some time.
Despite his limited playing time under Arne Slot last season, Elliott is viewed as a highly talented player who could thrive with more opportunities. Liverpool are said to be open to a sale, having slapped a £40 million price tag on the 22-year-old in an effort to secure a deal.
For Tottenham, the acquisition of Elliott would represent a potential bargain, as the club believes it would be difficult to find a player of his caliber and homegrown status for that price elsewhere in the market.
