Harvey Elliott can't keep 'wasting years' on the bench

Harvey Elliott can't keep 'wasting years' on the bench

Harvey Elliott has warned Liverpool he can't keep "wasting years" of his career on the bench.

The 22-year-old midfielder made just two Premier League starts last season and he has acknowledged he may need to seek a move in order to be the "best possible" player he can be.

He told the Daily Mail newspaper: "It's just a situation that me and the team on my behalf have to have a conversation about, because I'm coming to an age now where I'm 22, I'm going to be 23 next season, and I don't really want to be wasting years of my career, because it's a short career.

"I just want to improve and be the best possible version of myself and the best player I can be.

"If that's to go somewhere else, then it's a decision I'm going to have to make and I just need to see what happens."

Harvey would prefer to stay at Anfield, but knows he will need to put his career first.

He said: "Nothing makes me want to leave,' Elliott said. 'I love the club, I love the fans, the team. I support them as well.

"But as I said, most importantly, it's about what's best for my career. I just need to make that decision."

Despite his disappointment, Harvey - whose only two starts came after Liverpool had clinched the title - supports the decisions made by manager Arne Slot.

He said: "The boss is the boss. He's the man in charge and he's the reason we've won the league, because of his decisions. His decision was not to start me."
