TalkSport pundit says Liverpool player who Jurgen Klopp hardly picks would start for every PL club

Tony Cascarino has suggested that Harvey Elliott would start for every Premier League club despite not being a regular for Liverpool.

The 20-year-old midfielder has started just two league games this season with Jurgen Klopp’s side sitting top of the English standings heading into the FA Cup break.

And speaking on TalkSport, Cascarino has suggested that the England youth international has been unlucky not start more games given his obvious qualities and outstanding potential.

The pundit said: “I’m going to mention Harvey Elliott because I think Harvey’s a little bit unlucky at times not to be in the team because he’s been terrific for Liverpool when he’s come on.

“I’m a big fan of Harvey Elliott, he reminds me of little Ray Houghton who was tenacious, always wanted the ball, chases everywhere, comes up with big goals. Harvey Elliott’s got that type of game in his locker, so I’m excited for him.

“Look, he’s up against one of the world’s best players in his position because he does favour the right-side of the forward line. He’s not as dynamic as Mo or as durable but there’s loads of quality to love about Harvey Elliott, he’d be in many Premier League teams, he’d be in many sides.”

Harvey Elliott’s time at Liverpool will eventually come

It’s easy to forget at times just how old Elliott actually is, with the midfielder one of the youngest players featuring regularly for a top-six Premier League side.

And whilst it is frustrating that Elliott is yet to become an established starter at Liverpool, the 20-year-old’s time with the Reds will come eventually.

Indeed, Elliott has the potential to become a midfield superstar, and Klopp knows that the youngster will, in time, transform into the player that every fan knows the former Fulham man can become.
