Former Spurs scout Bryan King says Harvey Elliott should join Tottenham to boost his England chances.

Two days after reports first linked Harvey Elliott with a move to Tottenham, fresh details suggest the London club are now prepared to meet Liverpool’s £40m asking price.
As reported in our 9 August article, Elliott has been on Spurs’ radar for weeks — and talks with manager Thomas Frank are said to have left the winger enthusiastic about the move.

According to multiple sources, RB Leipzig have also joined the race, but Spurs are pushing to steal a march on the Bundesliga side by matching Liverpool’s valuation.

Former Tottenham scout Bryan King has publicly urged Elliott to make the switch, arguing that regular football in north London could accelerate his push for a first senior England cap.

Bryan King’s Take on Elliott to Spurs

King believes the 21-year-old has the skill set to thrive under Thomas Frank’s attacking structure.

“He’s got the talent and vision. If he plays regularly for Spurs, the England call-up will follow.” — Bryan King via BBC Radio London

Analyst Verdict

Elliott’s versatility — able to operate centrally or on the right — makes him an ideal Thomas Frank signing. While £40m is a hefty fee for a player yet to become a Liverpool regular, the potential resale value and tactical fit could justify the outlay.

RB Leipzig’s interest ensures Spurs will need to move quickly if they want to secure his signature before the window closes.

Key Insights

  • Spurs prepared to match Liverpool’s £40m asking price.
  • Elliott keen after speaking to Thomas Frank.
  • RB Leipzig monitoring the situation.
  • Bryan King urges move to boost England chances.

What’s Next

Tottenham are expected to open formal talks with Liverpool this week.
If Spurs get the green light, personal terms with Elliott are unlikely to be an issue after his positive discussions with Frank.

Should Elliott swap Liverpool for Spurs — or wait for an offer from abroad?
