Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp lavishly praised Harvey Elliott, who made his debut on Sunday against Napoli, saying that the 16-year-old is a ‘fine, fine footballer’. “He needs game time, we will see where he gets that but he is obviously a fine, fine footballer and that’s why we were really interested,” Goal.com quoted Klopp as saying.
