It has been a great season for Harvey Elliott as he consolidates his place in the Liverpool first-team.
Elliott is something of a veteran in the Reds squad, having now been at the club for almost five years.
In that time, the England U21 international has racked up over 100 appearances.
Having truly found his feet as starter last season, Elliott has been more of a ‘super-sub’ this time around.
That hasn’t altered his impact though, with the former Fulham youngster growing in stature all the time.
The last few weeks have brought more evidence of that, with Elliott receiving plaudits on the international stage, too.
As Liverpool look to end the season with more silverware, the 20-year-old is set to play a big role.

Having been around the first-team for so long now – and also taken in an excellent season on-loan at Blackburn – it’s easy to forget how young Elliott still is.
This year prospects like Jarell Quansah and Conor Bradley have rightly been praised for taking senior football in their strides.
However, Elliott is actually three months younger than Quansah, and the same amount of time older than Bradley.
With his 21st birthday to come next Thursday, Elliott admitted that people sometimes overlook just how young he really is.
“I feel older, to be honest!” he exclaimed.
Getting old now!”
As good as he has been this season, it’s tough to see how Elliott breaks in to become a regular starter for Liverpool.
Perhaps the new manager will have a different idea, but it feels like there are too many ahead of him in the midfield stakes right now.
