Although the severity of the knee injury he had suffered was not confirmed, manager Thomas Frank admitted that it was “bad” after the game.
Maddison’s expected absence of the club’s interest in Elliott once again sparked.
In the entire current window, Spurs discussed a potential step for the 22-year-old internally.
West Ham had discussions with the Reds early this summer, but was deterred from their price of £ 40 million.
In the meantime, Frank’s team has shown that their output target was willing to pay 60 million pounds for Morgan Gibbs-White before the deal was collapsed.
The interest of the Spurs in Elliott has now received the approval seals from the former loan Alan Pordew.
When asked whether the North London Club feels as good, the co-moderator of the talk sport said at breakfast: “It is for me. With (James) Maddison, his thumb, it is not a very serious injury.
“But obviously he is injured at short notice. I think he would be absolutely ideal to take on this role.”
Jeff Stelling added: “I think he’s a great player. And obviously he is on the periphery in Angeld.
“He earns more time for the Premier League. In my view, he is used to living in London because he used to be in Fulham.

“I think it would be a great scream. Maybe the people Harvey Elliott look at and say:” Oh, he is not a Spurs type. “
“But we don’t know what Spurs will look like in the coming season because they have a new man.”
Why should Elliott Spurs join?
Pordew also quoted Frank’s earlier work in Brentford and came to the conclusion: “I think if I was Harvey Elliott and I was his agent or in his team, I think Spurs is an absolutely perfect fit.
“The manager was Brillant with young players in Brentford. So he has a great track record.”
Elliott has two years in Anfield after coming to the club in 2018 from the age of 15.
He climbed through the Cottagers’ Academy after he originally started his career at London Rivals Queens Park Rangers.
Although he has already made 92 Premier League appearances for the Reds, he was limited to only 18 in the last term.
Arne Slot has now signed Florian Wirtz to expand the competition for places in his midfield before the upcoming campaign.
