Liverpool’s crop of young talent built up during Jurgen Klopp’s tenure at the Anfield helm has rightly got many a fan excited for the future.
One starlet acquired from Fulham’s Academy, Harvey Elliott, has already shown signs of the ‘world-class player’ he could become in Merseyside, according to Paul Robinson.
“To see him come back from such a long lay-off and get his goal was amazing,” the former Tottenham shotstopper told Football Insider.
“He is going to be a world-class player. He fits into that Liverpool side perfectly.
“They have been short in that midfield area so having him back will be like a new signing.
“At his age, with the ability and talent he has got, it’s frightening. He is only going to get better.”
There’s certainly an element of excitement around the attacker’s future after delivering a stunning return to the pitch in the Merseysiders’ 3-1 victory over Cardiff City in the FA Cup with a stunning half-volley goal.
