At one point, it looked like Jurgen Klopp might head for the exit door with numerous trophies under his belt.

But the Premier League title is heading to either Arsenal or Manchester City, including disappointing exits in the Europa League and the FA Cup.

At a minimum, if Slot is to maintain Liverpool’s standing in the Champions League places, then he is going to need his senior players from Mohamed Salah to Virgil van Dijk to shine.

But one other player who he could also be calling upon is rising star, Harvey Elliott.

The 21-year-old scored a ’sensational’ goal during Liverpool’s 4-2 win over Tottenham on Sunday, according to Glenn Hoddle.

The England legend added that he ‘loves the way’ Elliott plays and he highlighted how he always plays with his ‘head up’, as he told Premier League Productions (05/05/24 at 6:50 pm).

But Hoddle thinks that the left-footed superstar might need to ‘prove’ that he is worthy of more minutes under Slot when he arrives.

“I think the reason that is better when Bentancur goes to close him, he takes the ball backwards, the ball is actually going backwards away from the goal and to get his foot around it by putting in that top corner,” said Hoddle.

It wasn’t like it was going square the ball or in front – wow, what a shot.

But the manager is going.

He can improve on his right foot.

I love the way he plays.”

Liverpool’s midfield has gone through a transitional period this season and it is still re-shaping itself.

You have to question why Elliott didn’t play more because he certainly deserved it, with just over 1000 minutes of Premier League football played.

But that’s where Slot comes into the picture and you hope he has Elliott part of his long-term plans.

Whether it’s being as a number eight or on the right side cutting onto his left foot, he can play and perform in both of those positions.
