The Guardian FootballHarvey Elliott revels in ‘second chance’ at Liverpool and has no regrets over Aston Villa loan
Midfielder grateful to be back with boyhood club Hardly played at Villa but won the Europa League Harvey Elliott believes he has been given “a second chance” at Liverpool and denied his ill-fated loan to Aston Villa was a lost year in his career.
