Harvey Elliott wonderkid

Liverpool brought Harvey Elliott in from Fulham in the summer of 2019.

The teenager arrived with a burgeoning reputation as a record breaking wonderkid.

He’d been appearing for the Fulham first team at a ridiculously young age, impressing in these appearances.

Since his arrival on Merseyside he has shown flashes of what is to come.

His cup showings have been impressive and he is set for a greater role in the side in the next couple of seasons.

Harvey Elliott loan

On deadline day Harvey Elliott was sent out on loan to Blackburn Rovers.

The teenager was thought to be staying at Anfield for the season but an early cup exit and Xherdan Shaqiri failing to secure a move away changed things.

The wonderkid ended up being loaned to Blackburn Rovers in the Championship.

Since then he has been in electric form. He has scored four and assisted four in 13 starts and one sub appearance.

This week saw Harvey Elliott score a vital goal for Blackburn.

The teenager netted an 80th minute equaliser for the Championship side.

His late strike brought his side level with Rotherham United with only ten minutes of normal time remaining.

Rovers went on to snatch a 98th minute winner, a winner which would’ve been impossible without Elliott.

Harvey Elliott scoring such a vital goal for Blackburn Rovers shows that he has the ability to come up with the goods when the pressure is on.

He has that ability to turn it on in the big moments, it is a trait vital for any forward hoping to make it at Liverpool.
