The Harvey Elliott thing is very serious. Liverpool’s new prodigy has now made two starts in a row with the Reds and against Chelsea he was one of the most outstanding players. “I have pushed myself to the maximum. “I finished the game almost without feeling my legs.”said the young midfielder from 2003. That energy is one of the reasons why Klopp has fallen in love with him.
Left-handed, a midfielder who can act from the outside or inside, he has quality, he is fast and above all very dynamic and aggressive. His pressing activation fits perfectly into Liverpool’s off-the-ball style of play, making him a wonderful replacement for Wijnaldum in the current squad. Due to his characteristics, he can even do the work of Shaqiri, who has also left. That is to say, his versatility already places him ahead of others like Thiago.
Elliott made his debut at the age of 15 in the Championship when he played for Fulham. Slavisa Jokanovic was the coach who saw brutal conditions for the highest elite. After that emergence, Liverpool signed him, and last season they transferred him to Blackburn with great success. He had a very outstanding season with 7 goals and 11 assists. Although there were many clubs interested in another loan, Klopp decided to keep him and the response could not be more spectacular. Elliott has arrived at Anfield to stay.
