Liverpool face paying record tribunal fee for Harvey Elliott

Liverpool may have to pay a record tribunal fee for former Fulham whiz Harvey Elliott.

Elliott, 16, completed the move to Anfield on Sunday after allowing his contract at Craven Cottage to run down.

As he is under the age of 24, Fulham are entitled to a fee for his development, which will now be determined by the Professional Football Compensation Committee.

The Evening Standard says the Reds were forced to pay the highest fee ever via tribunal after they signed Danny Ings from Burnley in 2015, in a deal that totalled £8 million, as well as a 20% sell on clause.

But Fulham are hopeful the fee for highly-rated Elliott will shatter that record and surpass £10 million.
