Harvey Elliott
22-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
Unlikely to feature again
Elliott is not available for Saturday's game against Leeds and likely going forward, manager Unai Emery told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "[Harvey] Elliott, as well, is not available for tomorrow."
ANALYSIS
Unfortunately for Elliott, Villa and Liverpool couldn't come to an agreement on new terms, which means he's unlikely to play again for Villa this season. If he hits a certain threshold, Villa would be forced to buy him, something Unai Emery clearly doesn't want. In what has been a lost year, Elliott made just four league appearances for Villa this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could move to MLS
MLS club Charlotte FC are interested in signing Elliott, according to Sky Sports.
ANALYSIS
Elliott has struggled to settle at Aston Villa, and as things stand now, the Midlands club wants to cut the loan short while Liverpool don't want to bring him back, either. Charlotte could be the perfect escape route for the 22-year-old playmaker, who would thrive at MLS while playing a big role in a less competitive environment. It's unclear if Charlotte have already submitted an offer to sign the midfielder, but the rumor has been out there for quite some time.
