Cole spoke about Elliott and his situation, saying: "For players like Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones, I think they're both fantastic players and are more than capable of playing for England. Unfortunately for them, Liverpool are very strong in that area of the pitch. I'd love to see Harvey playing regularly. There are options for him and if he does become available, I think quite a few teams will be interested in him."
Cole emphasized that Elliott is a talented player who deserves more opportunities, saying: "He's a fantastic player and I'd like to see him leave Liverpool to play regular football because he's old enough and has done his time. I'd just love to see him play because he's such a fantastically talented player."
Liverpool legend John Aldridge has a different view on the situation, hoping that Elliott will stay at the club despite his lack of playing time this season. Aldridge believes that Elliott is a game-changer and thinks he should get more opportunities to play. He also thinks that a big summer transfer window is coming, which could bring in new players and possibly lead to some current players leaving the club.
Aldridge commented: "There will be at least four new players coming in this summer — at least four. There will be players going out too, 100 per cent, because we balance the books. There will be a lot of money coming in. Most of the pundits and supporters have an idea of the players who will go out. I just don't want to see Harvey go out. I hope he stays."
Aldridge also mentioned that there could be a significant change in the team's dynamics this summer, with potentially four players leaving and four new ones joining, not including the goalkeeper who is already known to be coming in.
