Liverpool assistant boss Pep Lijnders has a lot of time for youngster Harvey Elliott.
The midfielder has been in and out of manager Jurgen Klopp's starting line-ups this term.
While Elliott has to fight for his spot, Lijnders believes that his tenacity means he will grab the chances that do come his way.
He told club media: I said to Harvey probably two or three weeks ago, I never have seen him this good in training.
He was not playing at that time and that's why I spoke with him, because it shows a lot the consistency [when] he is coming on or starting, he is always there. I think he is really consistent in his performance.
That's something we wanted for him as well, and that's what he feels. He acts more like a senior than you think, similar with Curtis they are such a long time already with us.
And he has this character as well to be like that. He makes an impact, he is this player who has to make [an] impact. He is the player between the lines and on the outside when he plays there who has to create, who has to play the final pass, who needs to arrive and score. He is a really, really good player, we all see this."
