"What's not to like," Jürgen Klopp said of Harvey Elliott's new long-term contract with Liverpool. The 19-year-old has been with the Reds since his infancy, and signed the role at the AXA Training Centre on Thursday.
Elliott has made 22 appearances since signing from Fulham in 2019, although a serious ankle injury sustained last September limited his number of starts in 2021-22. With a good pre-season, Klopp anticipates the midfielder will continue his impressive development in the coming years.
He said: "There are a lot of things we like. For us as a club, we have the opportunity to continue our journey with a special young player who has already had a big impact at Liverpool FC. For Harvey, who will be able to continue to develop, improve and hopefully develop his incredible talent at the club he has always supported."
"Harvey took a big hit last season but, like all the experiences he's had so far, he used it to grow as a person and as a player. "It was always obvious he was a good footballer, but taking the next steps was always going to be about using the information and experiences to grow, and that's exactly what Harvey is doing.
“Now it's about continuing to enjoy his football as much as we enjoy his development. It's an exciting time for him and for us.”
