The 23-year-old played just 277 minutes for Villa last term.

Eliott could help Liverpool
The managerβs comments will be a huge boost for the player and motivate him to do well in the coming weeks. Elliott has also been linked with Leeds United.
Liverpool needed creativity and ingenuity in the final third last season, and someone like Elliott could be a very handy option for them. He has previously showcased his qualities with the Liverpool first team, creating and scoring important chances. There is no reason why he cannot get his career back on track and establish himself as a useful player for Iraola.
