London, July 20, 2025 — West Ham United have expressed interest in signing Harvey Elliott from Liverpool, but are hesitant to meet the Reds’ £40 million asking price, according to The Sun.
The Hammers are exploring the possibility of a season-long loan deal that could include an option to buy, as they look to add creativity and versatility to their midfield ahead of the new campaign.
Elliott, 22, remains a valued squad member at Liverpool, but his long-term role under new head coach Arne Slot is still unclear. The club are open to discussing his future, but would prefer a permanent sale if they decide to let him go.
West Ham, operating under a tighter budget following other summer investments, see Elliott as a strong fit but are cautious about committing to a high transfer fee up front. Talks are still at an early stage, and no formal offer has been submitted.
The coming weeks will be key in determining whether a compromise can be reached between the two clubs.
