Signed from Fulham for[£4.3million](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/harvey-elliott-liverpool-fulham-record-compensation-fee-b919353.html) as a promising 16-year-old, the gifted England [youth international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harvey-elliott/nationalmannschaft/spieler/565822/verein_id/21340), who was [hailed](https://twitter.com/Ebenno88/status/1353378988325003267?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1353378988325003267%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-2997896505871584412.ampproject.net%2F2104240357001%2Fframe.html) ‘special’ by teammate Elliot Bennett, appears to have an incredibly bright future ahead of him.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Elliott will return to the Reds ahead of the 2021/22 campaign [full of confidence](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/432463-harvey-elliott-interview-blackburn-loan-learning-curves-and-haircuts) and looking to force his way into Jurgen Klopp’s first-team plans.

With the likes of Xherdan Shaqiri, Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi perhaps on their [collective way out](https://theathletic.com/2479427/2021/03/30/konate-salah-klopps-dirty-work-and-liverpools-summer-evolution/) of Merseyside, the teenager can be hopeful of making an impact at Anfield.

Whilst nobody can expect Elliott to emulate Mohamed Salah, or even this seasons exploits, providing a backup and alternative option certainly looks to be within his [capabilities](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/363982/Show/Harvey-Elliott).
