  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Elliott has made no secret of his desire for regular first-team football, having made only two starts in the Premier League last season. He has reportedly been lined up by RB Leipzig as a potential replacement for Xavi Simons, who has been linked with Chelsea, but Palace also view him as a possible successor to Eberechi Eze, who is being targeted by Tottenham.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Liverpool are thought to value Elliott at around £40 million (€46.4m/$54.3) and manager Arne Slot won't stand in his way if an acceptable offer comes in, but the Premier League giants are also happy to keep the 22-year-old if their monetary quotation isn't met.
