Such has been the level of progress made by Harvey Elliott since he joined Liverpool that handing him a second new deal in the space of 12 months seems entirely appropriate.
The 19-year-old, who arrived at Liverpool from Fulham in the summer of 2019 for a fee that was eventually determined by tribunal to be up to £4.3m, a world record fee for a 16-year-old who had never signed a professional contract.
Liverpool held the belief that his value stood at around £750,000, while Fulham had been wanting more than 10 times that amount for a player they felt had the potential to be a world class operator.
