Harvey Elliott names two players who influenced Liverpool squad number

Harvey Elliott has explained the thinking behind his Liverpool squad number and why he doesn't like the attention of being a professional footballer.

Elliott joined the Reds from Fulham during the summer of 2019. He became the youngest player to play in the Premier League, aged 16 years and 30 days when he made his league debut after coming on as an 88th-minute substitute in a 1–0 away defeat to Wolves on May 4, 2019.

The youngster then enjoyed a very successful loan spell at Blackburn Rovers in the Championship last season. And since his return to Anfield in the summer, Elliott has gone on to feature regularly for Jurgen Klopp’s side this season, despite spending five months on the sidelines with a serious ankle injury.
