Liverpool 'considering allowing 17-year-old starlet Harvey Elliott to leave on loan after approach from Blackburn' ahead of 5pm domestic transfer deadline

Liverpool are reportedly considering an approach from Blackburn for 17-year-old Harvey Elliott on the domestic transfer deadline-day.

The attacking midfielder, who moved to Anfield from Fulham in the summer of 2019, played for the first-team in the third round of the Carabao Cup against Lincoln last month.

However, amid a number of attacking options in the squad, first-team opportunities for Elliott this season will be limited and as a result the Reds are considering allowing him to leave temporarily to Blackburn in the Championship, according to Sky Sports.

The report details that Elliott's wishes will be a big factor in the decision - he trains regularly with the first-team and Jurgen Klopp has been keen to develop the youngster in-house.
