Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the race for Tottenham target Harvey Elliott is now intensifying as the Liverpool star assesses his options.
It has been widely reported over the last few days that Tottenham have identified Harvey Elliott as a potential alternative for Morgan Gibbs-White after the England international decided to remain at Nottingham Forest.
In fact, TBR Football even claimed earlier this week that Thomas Frank is prepared to give Elliott the number ten role at Spurs after the versatile attacker told suitors that he wants to play centrally.
The update claimed that the Tottenham head coach wants to bring another attacking midfielder through the door due to the injury record of James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, with the Dane identifying the Liverpool man as a suitable option.
Tottenham are battling three other clubs for Harvey Elliott
Jamie O’Hara has implored Daniel Levy to complete a deal for Elliott, but according to Fabrizio Romano’s latest update, it will not be an easy deal to get over the line.
The journalist revealed that three or four different clubs have expressed their interest in the 22-year-old without revealing the identity of those clubs.
Romano further added that Elliott has not made up his mind yet, as he is still assessing his options.
When asked about the rumours linking the England Under-21 international with a move to Spurs, he told GiveMeSport: “It’s gonna be one to watch. There’s interest from 3-4 clubs for Elliott, and he’s assessing options. No decision made yet on his Liverpool future, but an interesting one.”
Spurs may have to break the bank to land Elliott
Spurs Web has relayed several reports over recent weeks indicating that the Reds star will cost a premium this summer.
This includes a report from The Athletic a few weeks ago that Liverpool want a fee of £40m plus a buy-back clause for Elliott.
The same update suggested that if Tottenham or one of Elliott’s other suitors insist on not adding a buy-back clause, they would need to pay over £50m to land the Fulham academy graduate.
