Harvey Elliott says he has 'similar' style to Liverpool's most underrated player

Harvey Elliott believes that Roberto Firmino is the most underrated player in the Liverpool squad - and sees similarities between himself and the Brazilian.

The youngster returned to action at the start of February when he came on as a substitute in Liverpool's win over Cardiff City in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Elliott immediately reminded fans of his ridiculous talents with a superbly taken goal, his first in a Liverpool shirt.

The 18-year-old also spoke about the joy he felt when scoring his first goal for the Reds in front of a packed Kop.

In a Q&A on the Playmaker Instagram account, Elliott said when asked who is the most underrated player at Liverpool: "I would say the most underrated player must be Bobby.

"The touches I have compared to him must be similar!"

Firmino has been one of Jurgen Klopp's most important players at Liverpool, but he doesn't get the recognition he deserves from football fans.

"It’s always a great thing to score, but after being out for so long and being able to score my first goal in my first game back since being injured it’s a dream come true," Elliott added about scoring on his return from injury.

"I’m happy that I took the chance and hopefully many more to come."
