# Liverpool: Harvey Elliott given high praise by Blackburn teammate

**Liverpool loanee Harvey Elliott has been given some high praise in reaction to some of his performances during the 2020/21 campaign.**

### Elliott lauded

The 17-year-old is currently on loan at Championship side Blackburn Rovers where he has been turning heads, having scored four goals and provided nine assists in 23 appearances ([TransferMarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harvey-elliott/leistungsdaten/spieler/565822)). Elliott picked up a [Premier League winners’ medal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harvey-elliott/erfolge/spieler/565822) after his brief involvement for Jurgen Klopp’s side last season.

The Kop faithful have been [monitoring](https://readliverpoolfc.com/?p=110423) the youngster’s progress closely and have been impressed with what they have seen from Elliott so far in a blue and white shirt.

This has been echoed by an unnamed senior Blackburn teammate of Elliott’s, who offered glowing praise of the youngster. According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/unreal-exclusive-liverpool-kid-dubbed-by-teammate-best-17-yr-old-ive-ever-seen/), the young winger was described as “the best 17-year-old I’ve ever seen” and tipped him to have an “unreal career” at the highest level.

These comments echoed what manager Jurgen Klopp previously said about Elliott, telling the [club’s official website](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/401102-harvey-elliott-liverpool-contract-jurgen-klopp) that he was an “exciting prospect” and admired his “attitude.”

### Transfer Tavern Verdict

Liverpool supporters will have known this for a while, especially those that keep a close eye on proceedings in the U23s’ squad.

Elliott was the stand-out performer for that squad last season – which granted him the opportunity to strut his stuff for the champions and now in the second tier.

Whoever that Blackburn teammate is couldn’t be more right. Elliott has a bright future in the game and it’s Liverpool’s responsibility to nurture his talent.
