After a solid performance against Fulham, young English midfielder Harvey Elliott has reportedly signed an extension of his contract with Liverpool. The 19-year-old has established himself as a regular first-team member after an ankle injury last season. His new contract will last until the summer of 2027.
Elliott has played a key role after coming off the bench in Liverpool‘s 2-2 draw against Fulham. Many view the youngster as the future of Liverpool’s midfield. Or at least a part of it.
Harvey Elliott: An Attempt to Secure a Future
Liverpool’s future at the apex of football is on unstable ground. With several key players including Mohammed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Dean Henderson, and Virgil van Djik slowly reaching past their prime, the Liverpool team is vulnerable to time. Jurgen Klopp likely needs top youth talent to replace his aging players. Elliott, among others like Fabio Carvalho and Darwin Nunez, are likely part of a plan for the future.
About his contract extension, Elliot had this to say to liverpoolfc.com :
“It’s always nice to know that I’m going to be here for many more years, which is always a great thing with it being my boyhood club and there is nothing in this world that makes me more happy and more excited than this.”
“It’s been a big rollercoaster for me and my family and even for the club. So much has happened in the years that I have been here.
Current Premier League Standings
We’ve already won so much and hopefully we can win so much more, so just to know that I am going to be here for a long time again – as I said, it’s always a wonderful feeling for myself and my family [and] being Liverpool supporters there is no better place in this world to be than playing for Liverpool and to put the shirt on and go out and play for the team and the fans.
“I’m hoping there are many more memories to come with it but I’m just so excited to put pen to paper and stay here for a lot longer.”
