That’s according to David Lynch, who mused in his report for the Liverpool Echo that Elliott could replace Xherdan Shaqiri.

Should the Swiss flyer make a move this summer, it would open up a spot in Klopp’s roster for a left-footed right-winger.

Elliott smashed it on loan last season at Blackburn Rovers, registering an unbelievable seven goals and 11 assists in 41 Championship appearances.

We’d like to remind you he only turned 18 three months ago.

Harvey Elliott has already done enough to convince Jurgen Klopp

Lynch’s report – linked above – does clarify Elliott is already considered ready to be used in domestic cup competitions while battling for minutes in other tournaments as he develops.
