Elliott’s new Reds contract

LIVERPOOL forward Harvey Elliott’s first-team progress has been rewarded with a new long-term contract. The 19-year-old signed an improved deal last summer but has been given a new one, understood to be for five years, to reflect his growing contribution to the team. ‘It’s always nice to know that I’m going to be here for many more years,’ said Elliott, who has played 22 times for the Reds. ‘It’s always a great thing with it being my boyhood club and there is nothing in this world that makes me more happy and more excited than this.’
