121 Liverpool star Harvey Elliott has now been praising a youngster that’s emerged as a big talent at the club this season.
Elliott, who is still only 20-years-old, now feels like something of a senior player at Anfield.
The midfielder is showing a lot of maturity in his displays these days, and has importantly avoided injury when so many of his teammates haven’t been so lucky.
Jurgen Klopp will surely be delighted with the role Elliott is playing himself, let alone the brilliant young players bursting onto the scene as well right now.
Both Lewis Koumas and Jayden Danns were excellent last night, following in the footsteps of Conor Bradey and Bobby Clark this season.
And when speaking after last night’s 3-0 win over Southampton, Elliott was full of praise for Liverpool youngster Danns, who stole the show late on.
Danns demonstrated both his ability and his character when scoring his goals late on, and the likes of Cody Gakpo could only admire the composure he showed in front of goal.

Speaking to ITV Football after the game, Elliott also spoke about the week as a whole.
He said: “It has been unbelievable. We can easily get carried away in the circumstances [of the Carabao Cup final].
“It was an emotional day and amazing. It would have been easy to come here tonight and forget the job that we needed to do.
“Ever since this man [Jayden Danns] came on this season he’s been amazing.”
Of course, having qualified for the FA Cup quarter finals last night, Klopp’s side will now face Manchester City in the league, and then Manchester United in the cup within a week.
There’s also the small matter of a round of 16 tie against Sparta Praha either side those games, a fixture list that will now be packed until the end of the season.
And although Liverpool fans may expect a youngster like Danns to fade away from the first team when all are fit, it’s clear that Klopp will need a lot of faces in these coming weeks, with Elliott now surely crucial to plans as well.
All that being said, pundit Ally McCoist was left really frustrated with one Liverpool player despite the win last night.
