'Harvey looks in proper shape' - Klopp says Elliott well placed to break into Liverpool first team

The Reds head coach has been impressed by the midfielder's physical condition since his return from his loan spell at Blackburn Rovers

Jurgen Klopp says Harvey Elliott is well placed to break into Liverpool first team after reporting for pre-season "in proper shape".

Liverpool snapped up Elliot from Fulham as a 16-year-old in 2019, and he has since appeared in nine senior matches while becoming the youngest player to ever start a game for the Reds.

The midfielder, who spent the 2020-21 campaign on loan at Blackburn Rovers, was handed a new long-term contract after turning 18 earlier this year and Klopp is confident he is now ready to establish himself as a key member of his squad.
