Elliott's Wasted Villa Loan Embarrassing Emery The latest casualty of the Premier League's toxic loan culture is Harvey Elliott, the young midfielder who has been woefully underutilized by Aston Villa this season.

Manager Unai Emery's comment that the loan deal was "embarrassing for everyone involved" understates the severity of the issue.
