The 22-year-old was limited to just 18 appearances during the last Premier League season, starting only twice as Liverpool went on to win their 20th title.

Elliott was named in Lee Carsley's under-21 squad for the European Championship in Slovakia where England get their campaign under way against Czech Republic on Thursday.

The boyhood Reds fan was left in tears during Liverpool's on-pitch title celebrations, which may hint that he sees his future away from Anfield.

Asked whether he is considering leaving the club he loves, he replied: “It's a situation me and the team have to have a conversation about because I’m coming into an age now where I'm 22, I’m going to be 23 next season.

“I don’t really want to be wasting years on my career because it’s a short career. You don’t know what's going to happen.
