Journalist: Bundesliga side could return for Liverpool midfielder this summer Harvey Elliott, RB Leipzig and Liverpool Transfer Question Raised on Media Matters Elliott move enters focus On Media Matters for Anfield Index, Dave Davis and Lewis Steele turned part of their Liverpool transfer discussion towards Harvey Elliott, RB Leipzig and how the club may shape its summer business. Davis set the tone by saying Liverpool “have got to manage the pennies carefully,” before referencing recent reporting around Elliott’s future. He said: “Paul Joyce has referenced it.
