A number of Liverpool fans have been hailing Reds youngster Harvey Elliott after he was named among the 50 best teenagers in world football.

The 17-year-old moved to Anfield from Fulham in 2019, arriving as one of the most exciting young players in the country. A boyhood Liverpool fan, he featured sporadically during his first season on Merseyside, making eight appearances in all competitions, as well as one at the beginning of 2020/21.

With Jurgen Klopp struggling to promise the teenager regular playing time this season, he joined Blackburn Rovers on loan for the campaign and has flourished at Ewood Park.

Elliott has scored five goals in the Championship and also chipped in with an impressive 10 assists - only Norwich City's Emiliano Buendia (12) has more in the division.

Great things are expected of the former Fulham youngster in the years ahead and it could be that he is more of a regular for Liverpool next season.

Elliott's brilliance has been highlighted by his inclusion in Goal's list of the world's 50 best wonderkids in the world, with the Reds prospect coming in at number 26.
