The reigning European champions don’t want to lose the talented player and are keen to tie him to a new deal.
However, Chelsea are said to be concerned that Elliott, described as “an exciting attacking midfielder who can both score and create” on the club’s official website, is tempted to leave.

Tino Livramento 2.0 ?
Southampton signed Livramento from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
Like Elliott, the 18-year-old has also gone through Chelsea academy.
The England Under-21 international defender has already won in the Southhampton first team.
The teenager has scored one goal in 11 Premier League appearances this season.
Elliott could be tempted by a move to Southampton given the progress Livramento has made at St. Mary’s Stadium.
