Mohamed Salah paid tribute to Harvey Elliott after his £35m move to Aston Villa, calling him a “champion” and predicting big success, while admitting disappointment to see his long-time Liverpool teammate leave. Elliott departed amid Liverpool’s attacking reinforcements, with Wirtz, Isak, and Ekitike limiting his minutes. Villa secured him on a loan-to-buy deal, with Emery expecting him to be a key creative force. Salah praised Elliott’s maturity and predicted an impressive future.
