West Ham’s chances of signing Liverpool starlet Harvey Elliott appear to be, unsurprisingly, withering on the vine.
Let’s be honest—very few of us truly believed the Hammers had a real shot at signing the standout player from England’s European Under-21 Championship-winning side. It always felt more likely that West Ham would end up with the less illustrious of the two available Anfield youngsters: Tyler Morton.
However, breaking reports earlier today suggest that West Ham are now facing a transfer tug-of-war between Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest for Elliott’s signature—delivering what feels like the knockout blow.

At £40 million, the former Fulham academy wonderkid was always going to be on the pricey side for Graham Potter’s limited summer budget.
Club sources have consistently maintained that West Ham never stood more than a slim chance of landing the player. Hopefully, that means alternative targets have already been identified—and ideally, already approached.
Because with Lucas Paquetá’s future still as uncertain as it’s ever been, West Ham’s need for a creative midfielder who can unlock defences and provide ammunition for the forwards is becoming increasingly urgent.
