Liverpool set to sign England midfielder Harvey Elliot

Liverpool are set to sign England Under-17 midfielder Harvey Elliot this summer after the youngster  rejected numerous approaches from other clubs to join the Reds, according to the Telegraph.

Real Madrid, Paris Saint Germain and RB Leipzig were all keen on the young player, whose time at Fulham drew to a close at the end of June.

Liverpool will have to agree a substantial compensation package with the London side, and will offer the 16-year-old a scholarship wage package that upgrades to a professional deal once he’s old enough to sign it.

Fellow Cottager Ryan Sessegnon, 19, is also expected to move to a Premier League side this summer, with Liverpool sporadically linked to the left wingback.

Elliot played for the Fulham senior side in the EFL Cup last season at just 15 years of age, making him their youngest ever first team debutant.

Fulham were keen to keep the midfielder at the club beyond his scholarship period but he was unwilling to accept their offer, and is now set to further bolster Liverpool’s Academy contingent.
