Liverpool currently have the best teenager on their books according to former Leeds, Tottenham and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson.

Harvey Elliott came to the club from Fulham in the summer with big wraps attached having become the youngest player to make his Premier League debut at just 16 years and 30 days.

After being linked with some big teams on the continent, Elliott signed with the Reds and now that he has turned 17 can sign his first professional contract for a maximum length of three years.

Jürgen Klopp has got a terrific record in nurturing youngsters into future stars with Trent Alexander-Arnold being a shining example of that.

"Elliott has been given some first team opportunities in the cup competitions as well as a late sub in the league against Sheffield United as has greatly impressed with assistant manager Pep Lijnders recently saying:

"What a surprise he was when he came for the first sessions.

“Some players, they play as if they are already say 28 or 29, he's a player who sees so much around him before things happen.”

Robinson is another person who has been very Impressed with Elliott and is not afraid to say Liverpool have a gem on their hands.

Football 365 via Football insider reported Robinson as saying:

“If there is currently ( a better teenager ) in the game I have not seen them. 

“When he has come into the team he has done outstandingly well. 

“At 17 he looks comfortable and capable.

Robinson said it is to the great credit of Elliott that he has looked so comfortable at Liverpool.

“To come into the Liverpool squad is not easy. Look at the quality of player they have got.

“They are European champions and probably Premier League champions so the pull to come to Liverpool has never been higher. 

“They can pull in the world’s best talent if they wanted to but the fact that they have given him a new contract shows you what they think of him.

The former Blackburn gloveman believes the sky is the limit for Elliott.

“A quality player. I rate him.

 

"He is going to be around for a long, long time at the top level and at Liverpool if he wants to be.”

Really dislike articles like this as they put undue pressure on youngsters. He’s shown flashes of quality and looks like he has potential.

Yes,totally agree. Has looked brilliant in flashes among his peers but still has a way to go to fulfil that potential. He is fortunate to have Klopp as his manager as he has freedom to play his own game.

Wayne Harrison , Le Tallec, Pongole and so many teenage CBs I will reserve judgement after he has been with us 10 years. Ain't seen anything yet to say he is anything special other than a very good 17 year old footballer

It's just the usual bluster that starts to be drip fed ahead of no new signings. 

 

If we had one of the best teenagers in world football then we wouldn't have the unfortunate to be calling on lallana, oxocube and origi to play outwide. 

 

Hopefully Elliot and Jones kick on whenever the fuck normality resumes.   To give us some depth in the front three.   It's gonna be needed.

Are you saying Paul Robinson is an FSG shill?

He's really not though, not even close really. Showed great flashes of potential but your still a teenager until your 20 so you have Haland, Alphonso Davies Fati and Rodrygo just off my head who are miles ahead(even if a couple of years older)

That's some statement from Robinson.  A totally incorrect one, mind, as Elliott isn't in the top 100 teenage talents in my opinion.  Not because he isn't talented, he is, but there's loads more 18 and 19 year olds out there with proper top level experience under their belt. 

 

It's just a stupid thing to say.
