Speaking to Liverpool’s official club website after signing his new contract, Harvey Elliott has claimed that he never wants to leave Anfield.

The boyhood Liverpool supporter joined the Reds from Fulham back in 2019, and he’s just signed a new long-term deal to keep him on Merseyside for the foreseeable future.

Elliott may only be 19, but he’s already speaking about spending his entire career with the Reds, stating that he wants to retire as a Liverpool player.

What’s been said?

Elliott shared his desire to stay at Liverpool for the remainder of his career.

“Hopefully my career ends here. This is why I’ve come here, to be honest, just to make sure I establish myself in this team and play as much as I can for Liverpool. That’s all I want to do, I just want to put the shirt on, go out and play and just enjoy myself because at the end of the day I was playing in the back garden as a kid in a Liverpool shirt. [I was] scoring goals and pretending to be these players and now I’m playing with them. It’s memories I want to write myself and look back on in years to come and think, ‘Yeah, what a dream’ and happy that I’ve dreamt my dream and achieved it,” Elliott said.

Nightmare for Fulham

Liverpool fans may be buzzing to hear that the ‘exciting’ midfielder wants to remain at Anfield until the end of his career, but Fulham fans certainly won’t be.

Not only did the midfielder leave Craven Cottage for a nominal fee back in 2019, it now sounds as though the 20 per cent sell-on clause that Fulham negotiated will never bear any fruit either.

The Whites have lost both Fabio Carvalho and Elliott to Fulham in recent years, and while the sell-on clauses involved in both of those deals sound rather promising, it won’t do the London club any good if neither player ever leaves.
