Harvey Elliott, an English attacking midfielder 23 years old loaned by Liverpool, has a new opportunity after arriving in the last transfer market at Valencia FC following Carlos Corberán's dismissal and the arrival of Javier Aguirre to Mestalla's bench have changed everything. The Mexican wants to regain the player's form, valued at 18 million euros, who has only played for 85 minutes since his signing in the summer.

The midfielder has used the international break to train under the new coach, who is preparing him for his debut against Racing de Santander. Elliott hopes that the change in coach will give him more prominence after featuring in only three games, none as a starter.

Harvey Elliott's arrival at Mestalla raised expectations due to his career in the Premier League, but his adaptation has been more challenging than expected. The Englishman landed on September 1st, almost at the end of the transfer market, and was not available until the fourth matchday.

His first opportunity came against FC Barcelona, but he has not yet managed to establish himself in the starting eleven. The lack of continuity, the team's results, and the subsequent sacking of Carlos Corberán have influenced his initial weeks at Valencia.

Now, Javier Aguirre has the chance to revitalize a player who can operate as attacking midfielder or right winger. During the break, he has observed his movements, his ability to receive in between lines, and his skills to contribute to the offensive play.

The Mexican coach also needs to improve the team's results, currently located in the lower positions of LaLiga. Elliott's resurgence could provide an alternative to create chances and link midfield with the forwards. Harvey Elliott was one of the last signings of the market in the Spanish League.

Valencia FC holds its second most valuable player without minutes

Harvey Elliott's situation contrasts with his market value. According to the latest update from Transfermarkt, the Englishman maintains a market value of 18 million euros, making him the second most valuable player in the squad.

Only Javi Guerra, valued at 25 million, surpasses the player loaned by Liverpool. Behind him is Hugo Duro, with 11 million, showcasing Elliott's current position in the market.

Elliott arrived at Valencia FC on loan until the end of the 2026/27 season, with no purchase option. Before his departure, he extended his contract with Liverpool until 2028, thus his contractual future remains tied to the English club.

His career includes 149 official matches and 15 goals with Liverpool, along with two Premier League titles. Yet, last season he also struggled for playing time during his loan at Aston Villa, where he played 11 games and scored once.

LaLiga offers a new opportunity to Elliott

The next test will be the match against Racing de Santander, marking Aguirre's official debut. The Mexican has had about two weeks to prepare for the game and evaluate various options within his squad.

For Harvey Elliott, the immediate goal will be to increase his playing time and secure his first start. The game against Racing will show whether the new coach will start to give him more prominence and if the Englishman can change his situation before the January transfer window.
