Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is delighted with the preseason form of Harvey Elliott.

The 18-year-old started as the advanced midfielder of 3 as Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by Athletic Bilbao after Diogo Jota's opener was cancelled out early in the second-half.

Elliott spent last season on loan at Blackburn and impressed as he scored 7 goals and assisted 11 in 41 games.

Following the draw, Klopp explained, "He can play (centre midfield) . He can play up front, the right wing

"He smashed the bar. He is different, he can play a few positions, no doubt about it.

"We wanted to try him in midfield in pre-season to get him more involved. He made big steps."
