‘West Ham to sanction double sale to afford Harvey Elliott deal’ – Ex-Hammer
West Ham could do all it takes to bring in Harvey Elliott this summer.
The England under-21 international was electric throughout the most recent edition of the youth European Championships, winning the Player of the Tournament award.
This has unsurprisingly sparked interest from across the Premier League in his signature, with links to the London Stadium pouring in.
With that being said, it appears that Graham Potter could look to push through a number of summer sales in East London to fund a move for the attacker.
West Ham to agree new exits to sign Elliott
To this point, it has been a long and drawn out window for the Irons faithful with a general lack of exciting news for the claret and blue outfit.
This has changed in days gone by with the signing of El Hadji Malick Diouf from Slavia Prague, with the hope of more deals to follow.
The next in line in E20 could prove to be the Liverpool ace, who may look to force through a Liverpool exit after just 360 Premier League minutes last time out.

| Appearances | 28 |

This could see the Hammers take advantage to sign the Englishman, but former Brentford boss Martin Allen believes sales will be required to fund a deal at Anfield.
“I think it would be a tremendous signing for West Ham,” Allen exclusively told West Ham Zone.
“He scores goals for Liverpool, and he has done recently for England. I think he would be a great signing.
“Whether they could actually afford him, I don’t know. Do Liverpool need to sell?
“I imagine that Harvey Elliott is at the point in his career where he wants to be starting and finishing football matches, and he hasn’t really had that before.
“West Ham could be a good pathway for him to get on the pitch, playing week in, week out and scoring goals.
“Can West Ham afford him? If they sell a couple more players, they probably can. There are a lot of question marks around what they can actually spend.“
Elliott could transform West Ham fortunes
It is fair to say that the Hammers are in desperate need of excitement moving into the new Premier League campaign.
With Mohammed Kudus departing for Tottenham, there is certainly a desire for new attacking talent at the London Stadium moving forward.
This could see a move for Elliott make complete sense for all parties, and will seemingly hinge on whether sales can be agreed for other stars elsewhere.
