Fulham are still hoping to receive a fee as high as £10 million for Liverpool talent Harvey Elliott, according to the Daily Mail. 

Liverpool snapped up the teenager from Craven Cottage in July 2019, just two months after the teenager became the youngest ever Premier League player. 

He has since impressed for Liverpool and already been a feature of the club’s first-team this season, playing seven times including a first Premier League appearance. 

Jurgen Klopp is a massive fan of the player. As he told the press earlier this season, as relayed by the Liverpool Echo, he considers Elliott an ‘exceptional talent’ and it is clear the teenager is penciled in for a long-term first-team future at Anfield. 

But he will not be cheap. Liverpool’s signing of Elliott is still subject to a tribunal to establish compensation for his former team. 

The Daily Mail is reporting that Fulham still hope to receive up to £10 million for the player, especially given his immediate impact on Merseyside.

Elliott, who will reportedly (The Mirror) sign a three-year professional deal at the start of July, has not yet had a compensation fee confirmed for his move. 

Last year The Times suggested Fulham were happy to settle for £7 million, which would still break the record for a tribunal settled fee, the £6.5 million Liverpool paid Burnley for Danny Ings. 

It is just another expense that Liverpool undoubtedly have to plan for in a summer where money is likely to be tight. 

Hopefully, whatever fee Liverpool end up paying for Elliott, it ends up proving worth it.
