Harvey Elliott has admitted he is constantly heeding advice and learning lessons from Liverpool’s more senior players as he looks to shape the ‘future’ of the club.
The 19-year-old has been the shining light in an otherwise disappointing start to the season for the Reds, featuring in every Premier League or Champions League game and racking up more top-flight minutes than any other teenager. The attacking midfielder’s increasing stature within the first-team was reflected with a new-and-improved five-year contract in August.
But despite arguably being the club’s best and most consistent performer thus far, the former Fulham star admits he still looks up to his senior teammates and hangs on their advice in and around the AXA Training Centre - including the well-known bread-related lesson from Mohamed Salah during the pre-season of 2021, in which the Egyptian suggested he half his intake and start eating wholemeal.
