Tottenham Hotspur have accelerated transfer talks with Liverpool. A £40m deal is in the works.
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly accelerated talks to sign Harvey Elliott from Liverpool. That's according to report from Football Transfers.
Spurs are in the market for a new playmaker after James Maddison was ruled out for a significant chunk of the season with an ACL injury. He'll now require surgery, with no timeline on his recovery.

Heung-min Son's exit this week leaves Spurs very short in creativity up top. Elliott would help fix that and they've apparently been in talks with Liverpool for some time now.
In fact, they were making good progress even before Maddison's injury. Now they're accelerating those talks in an effort to find a deal ahead of the new Premier League season.
It's one Liverpool are open to. They've slapped a £40m price tag on Elliott in an effort to get a sale done.
Harvey Elliott's future
Elliott is unquestionably a far greater player than Liverpool let him show. He barely featured last season under Arne Slot, with a mix of injuries and a settled team keeping him sidelined.
But he's a magic player at times - someone who can make the difference in games. Quite honestly, Tottenham would be getting a bargain at £40m as we can't imagine they'll find anywhere near that level of talent - let alone homegrown talent - at that price anywhere else.
It's now clear, though, that Elliott will not fulfil his potential at Liverpool. He simply doesn't get the minutes, with Mo Salah ahead of him on the right and Florian Wirtz & Dominik Szoboszlai ahead of him centrally.
Tottenham, with Maddison now out, can offer him the kind of regular football he needs. It's a fantastic move for Elliott and one that we imagine will get him awfully close to the England squad for next year's World Cup.
We have to see if the move actually comes to fruition, of course, but things are pointing in the right direction.
