West Ham are in need of several new players this summer on the back of a very disappointing 2024-25 season – and especially so in the Premier League. Midfield and forward areas will be addressed, and one player that would help with both is Harvey Elliott.Elliott has struggled for prominence at Liverpool since Arne Slot’s arrival as manager. He managed only 28 appearances last season across all competitions, and in the Premier League, he made only two starts – both came after the title had already been wrapped up.As a result, it has been decided that Elliott can leave Liverpool this summer. In recent weeks, he has been linked with the likes of Nottingham Forest and Wolves, and now he has been backed to join West Ham.Stuart Pearce backs West Ham to make move for Harvey ElliottLiverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott.

That was one of the statements he made. He identified the talent of him and identified that he didn’t play him enough. He hasn’t played enough this year once again. I think that would be a good move for both parties (if he joined West Ham).”More Stories / Latest News“Good move for both parties” – West Ham urged to sign Liverpool man this summerJun 9 2025, 17:09Everton to compete with Newcastle and Aston Villa for ambitious summer moveJun 9 2025, 16:42Insider confirms Everton desire to complete double Liverpool swoopJun 9 2025, 16:23The problem that West Ham could encounter if they go for Elliott is his asking price. Liverpool are believed to be demanding £50m from any club that wishes to sign the 22-year-old this summer, which could be out of their budget.It remains to be seen where Elliott ends up by the closing of this summer’s second transfer window in September. West Ham may be a good option, but unless a big sale or two happens at the London Stadium, it may not be a realistic one.The post “Good move for both parties” – West Ham urged to sign Liverpool man this summer appeared first on CaughtOffside.
