In a transfer move that has surprised many fans, Harvey Elliott has officially announced his departure from Liverpool to join Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 22-year-old midfielder, who has been with the Reds since 2019, made an emotional farewell as he embarks on a new chapter in his career.
Speaking to the club’s media in his final interview at Anfield, Elliott struggled to hold back tears. “Liverpool has been my home, my dream since I was a kid,” he said. “It’s never easy to say goodbye to a place that has shaped you as a footballer and as a person. I owe so much to this club, the staff, the fans, my teammates — they have been like family to me.”
Elliott’s time at Liverpool has been marked by moments of brilliance, but also setbacks, including a broken foot at the start of the 2024/25 season that kept him sidelined for months. Despite his recovery and late return, new manager Arne Slot’s tactical shifts left Elliott struggling for regular minutes, prompting his decision to move on.
“I had long conversations with the manager, and we were very honest with each other,” Elliott explained. “Arne made it clear he values me as a player, but he also understands I’m at a stage in my career where I need to be playing consistently. I want to test myself, to grow, and that’s why I’ve made this decision.”
The midfielder had high praise for his new club, Wolverhampton Wanderers, describing the move as “the right challenge at the right time.” “Wolves have shown so much belief in me,” Elliott said. “They’re building something exciting, and I’m eager to be part of that journey. I can’t wait to meet the fans, my new teammates, and give everything I have for the badge.”
When asked about his favorite memories at Liverpool, Elliott smiled and reflected warmly: “Scoring in front of the Kop, celebrating with the fans, lifting silverware — those are moments I will cherish forever. But beyond the pitch, it’s the small things: the people behind the scenes, the community work, the feeling of being part of something bigger than football.”
Elliott also left a heartfelt message for the Liverpool supporters: “To the fans — thank you from the bottom of my heart. You welcomed me when I was just a teenager, you believed in me through the highs and the lows. I’ll never forget singing You’ll Never Walk Alone with you. No matter where my career takes me, Liverpool will always be in my heart.”
The Wolves faithful can expect to see Elliott joining up with the squad for preseason in July, eager to prove himself in gold and black. For Liverpool, it’s the end of a chapter, but for Elliott, it’s the beginning of a new adventure.
