Harvey Elliott will be desperate to bring the curtain down in style on his England U21 career by beating Germany in Saturday's European championship final, although another stellar display for the Young Lions may only end up further clouding his Liverpool future.

The Reds attacking midfielder produced a player-of-the-match performance, including two eye-catching second-half goals, to help England beat the Netherlands in Wednesday's semi-final.

A look back at all of Harvey Elliott's goals for Liverpool in the Premier League.

After appearing only twice in the league in his first year and a half at the club, Jurgen Klopp sent Elliott out on loan to Blackburn Rovers in January 2021, where he shone in the Championship.
