In the early morning of the Europa League, Villa suffered an upset loss to the Dutch team Advance Eagles 1-2. Elliott, who joined the Future this summer, once again sat on the bench in this game.

At the last moment of this summer window, after Liverpool acquired Isaac, the team approved Elliott's transfer. The player joined Villa on a lease-before-buy basis. The lease was for one year. The agreement included a mandatory buyout clause after reaching a certain number of appearances. According to this report, the total price after renting is 35 million pounds, and Liverpool has a buy-back clause.

However, after joining Villa, Elliott did not get many playing opportunities. After he came to the team, Elliott played 5 times in 9 games, with a total playing time of only 174 minutes and scoring 1 goal. Elliott has spent 90 minutes on the bench in the last three games.

Elliott’s old club Liverpool has also been having a hard time recently. Salah’s poor condition coupled with player suspensions and injuries have left Liverpool’s striker with little room for adjustment.

The current transfer price of the 22-year-old Elliott is 35 million euros. It is reported that as long as the number of appearances reaches 10 games, Villa will need to force a buyout of Elliott. Although this number is easy to achieve, it seems that staying at Villa will not allow Elliott to get too much playing time.
