Latest from Your Site News' Rob Jones: 

Your Site News understands Aston Villa's option to buy Harvey Elliott from Liverpool can only be triggered by Premier League appearances.

Elliott joined Villa on a season-long loan in the summer with an obligation to sign him for 35m if he plays a certain number of matches. 

The playmaker has made seven appearances across all competitions since joining but has only started three games. 

Elliott started in Villa's 3-2 win over RB Salzburg in January but has since been left out of the match-day squad for games against Bournemouth, Brighton and Newcastle. 

Villa crashed out of the FA Cup after the 3-1 loss to Newcastle last time out and also exited the Carabao Cup in September. 

Unai Emery's side remain in the Europa League after qualifying for the last 16 of the competition, where Elliott will be available to feature if he recovers from a hernia problem.
