West Ham Harvey Elliott transfer 2025 could be one of the boldest moves of the summer window. The Hammers have just sold Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham for £55 million, and now aim to reinvest that money by luring Harvey Elliott from Liverpool.

According to The GuardianWest Ham are preparing an ambitious offer for the 21-year-old midfielder — a key member of England’s U21 Euro-winning squad.

Why Elliott Could Be Open to a Move

Elliott made just 18 Premier League appearances for Liverpool last season, starting only a handful of games. While he made headlines with a Champions League winner against PSG, his role at Anfield remains limited.

With Liverpool stacked in midfield, a move to West Ham could offer him regular football and a central role in Graham Potter’s new-look side.

London Return Makes Sense

Elliott began his career at Fulham, and a return to the capital may appeal. Potter’s track record of developing young players at Brighton could be another factor, especially with Elliott still only 22 but already boasting a Premier League title and two U21 Euro medals.

Other clubs are circling too — including Aston Villa, Brighton, and Bundesliga giants RB Leipzig and Dortmund.

West Ham’s European Ambition Hinges on Smart Spending

Under David Moyes, West Ham won the Europa Conference League and reached the latter stages of the Europa League. But after finishing 14th last season under Julen Lopetegui and Graham Potter, fans are demanding more than mid-table mediocrity.

With a full summer and pre-season, Potter will now be judged on his signings and style. The £55m profit from Kudusmust be spent wisely — and Elliott would signal a serious intent to rebuild around youth and flair.

Analyst Verdict

Harvey Elliott needs minutes, and West Ham need a new attacking spark. This move makes sense for both sides — but pulling it off would be a major win for Potter and could reshape how fans view his project.
