Harvey Elliott has insisted that he does not want to be ‘wasting years’ of his career on the sidelines.
The midfielder has been linked with a summer move away from Liverpool in search of regular first-team football.
He said: “I’m coming into an age now where I’m 22, I’m going to be 23 next season.
“I don’t really want to be wasting years on my career because it’s a short career. You don’t know what’s going to happen. I need to reflect.
“I need to see if I’m content in doing what I’m doing and how can I improve as a player because that’s the most important thing.
“I just want to improve and be the best possible version of myself. If that’s to go somewhere else, then it’s a decision that I’m going to have to make and I just need to see what happens.
“Nothing makes me want to leave. I love the club, I love the fans, the team. I support them as well, but most importantly, it’s just about what’s best for my career.”
