# Liverpool: Fans slam Harvey Elliott’s reported new wage

**Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott is already a record-breaker.**

The 17-year-old became the [youngest-ever player](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48162704) to play in the Premier League when he appeared for Fulham during the 2018/19 campaign, which then convinced the Reds to make a move for the teenager. As of yet, he is not a regular fixture in either Jurgen Klopp’s starting line-up or matchday squad, but he has featured in [all but one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harvey-elliott/leistungsdaten/spieler/565822) of their cup matches this season.

Clearly, the Anfield outfit have already seen enough, and they are now ready to give him a new contract, as per Football Insider. However, despite his young age, they are said to be offering him [£20,000 a week](https://www.footballinsider247.com/deal-all-but-done-liverpool-agree-terms-of-forward-new-deal-sources/), which is only [£8,000 less](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/liverpool-f.c/payroll/) than 22-year-old England international and first team regular Joe Gomez.

Lots of the Liverpool supporters, it seems, are unhappy that he will reportedly be earning such a high fee at his tender age. They have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts, and you can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.

> 20k a week at 17? That’s risky, they must rate him very highly
