Harvey Elliott to Tottenham 2025 – it’s a move that would have seemed unlikely just months ago. But with Liverpool's summer rebuild in full swing and Brighton circling, Spurs have been urged to enter the race for the England U21 star – and fast.

Tottenham legend Jamie O’Hara believes Spurs should act now to sign Elliott, especially as Brighton are reportedly willing to match their transfer record with a £40m bid. After a standout campaign at the U21 Euros, Elliott’s value has never been higher – and his frustration at game time under Arne Slot is no secret.

Joe Cole: “Elliott Walks Into Any Side Outside the Top Six”

“Anyone outside the top six he comfortably walks into… Teams across Europe will be calling his agent.” — Joe Cole, Channel 4

Spurs Could Offer Elliott the Perfect Platform

Tottenham are preparing for life under Thomas Frank and a return to the Champions League. With Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison as attacking options, Elliott might not start every week – but he’d be breathing down their necks.

Jamie O’Hara made his stance clear:

“I would have him at Tottenham. He can play as a 10, on the right or in midfield. He’s got something about him.” — Jamie O’Hara, talkSPORT

Brighton Ready £40m Bid for Elliott

Brighton have reportedly prepared a club-record £40m offer for Elliott. The Seagulls see him as a potential talisman for the future, especially after his Player of the Tournament showing at the U21 Euros, where he bagged five goals en route to England’s title defence.

Villa, Wolves, and several European clubs are also monitoring his situation closely.

Analyst Verdict

Elliott’s situation mirrors Curtis Jones in 2023 – overlooked until a major summer tournament. But unlike Jones, Elliott’s ceiling may require a new environment to truly shine. A Spurs move makes strategic sense, especially under Frank, who thrives with high-IQ, versatile midfielders.
