Fulham boss Scott Parker is upset losing Harvey Elliott to Liverpool.

This week saw Fulham settle their long-running dispute with the Toffees' neighbours Liverpool regarding the 2019 sale of wonderkid Elliott.

A tribunal decreed on Wednesday that the Cottagers would receive £4m plus a 20 per cent sell-on clause.

The West Londoners said in a statement they were 'very pleased' with the outcome, given Liverpool had initially offered a paltry £750,000.

Yet Parker said: “I'd much rather the player. To go to a tribunal where you get £4m, or up to £4m like has been suggested. From my position, it's madness, really.

“Because I think we all recognise that Harvey Elliott has the potential of being a top-class football player. Liverpool have taken him off us for minimal numbers, for the potential of what Harvey is capable of."
