Harvey Elliott is looking to “cement” his place in the Liverpool midfield this season despite competition from the summer incomings.
Elliott made 46 appearances in all competitions last season and was ever-present in the side until falling somewhat out of favour towards the end of the campaign.
The 20-year-old successfully battled back from the horrific dislocated ankle injury he sustained in the 3-0 victory at Leeds back in September 2021 and has become a prominent feature within the squad despite his young age.
Speaking ahead of the season opener against Chelsea this weekend, Elliott admitted that it will be “tough” to replicate the minutes he was afforded last season due to the “world-class players” around him.
Personally, [my goal is] to be in the team, to kind of cement my place in the team. It’s going to be tough, [there are] world-class players here so it’s never going to be easy,” Elliott told the club’s official website.
At the same time I just need to support the team and whenever I’m called upon just make sure I go out and apply myself well, give it my best shot and play for the badge, which is what I want to do each and every game. And most importantly, enjoy it.
