Harvey Elliott has opened up about the "great opportunity" he has to follow in Sadio Mane's footsteps after he was handed the No.19 shirt at Liverpool for the new season.
The Reds announced that the 19-year-old will wear the number having previously worn the No.67 shirt during his time at the club. The jersey was used by Mane throughout his first two seasons at Anfield before he decided to take the No.10 shirt. Mane joined Bayern Munich in a £35million deal last month - ending his six-year stay at the Reds following his move from Southampton.
Meanwhile, Elliott is entering into his fourth season as a senior professional at Liverpool despite still being a teenager. There was a leak that emerged on Twitter on Friday evening that Elliott could be replicating Lionel Messi's development by taking the No.19 shirt after the latter began his Barcelona career with that number.
