Harvey Elliott could have a major role to play this season for Liverpool, even if that isn't always from the start of games.
Last year he was a super sub and Dominik Szoboszlai started ahead of him at Ipswich Town last weekend.
That doesn't mean he can't make even more progress in the coming months — still only being 21.
And Gary Nevillehas compared Elliott to one of the best players in the Premier League with Jamie Carragher in agreement.
Carragher
"[Arne Slot’s system] actually probably suits him a little bit more than Jurgen Klopp’s,"
“He used to play in place of Mohamed Salah [on the right under Klopp] but he doesn’t have the pace for that. I definitely think he is someone who plays in the center. I think Slot plays with more of a number 10."
Neville added.
“I always thought last season, when I watched Liverpool, every time he came on they had more about them,"
"He added a lot to them. I think he is a player who, with all due respect — and I think he will have a great career at Liverpool — he would be amazing in Spain. Honestly, his technical ability, the way he plays…
"Pep Guardiola would love him. Like a Bernardo Silva, you think about him in terms of the way he plays. I heard a term the other day that was quite good; ‘wide-controllers’.
“He’s like that. He controls the game from a wide area. Pep would love him. I like him as a player."
