Elliot overjoyed with Liverpool contract: Dream come true

Harvey Elliott was overjoyed after signing his first professional contract with Liverpool.

The 17-year-old has appeared in eight games across all competitions for the club since joining from Fulham last summer.

Speaking to the club's website, Elliot said: "I think since the first day I've walked in, it's been an indescribable journey so far.

"I think now to top it off with my first professional contract is a dream come true for me and my family.

"I'm excited to see what the future holds and I'm just excited to give everything to the club and the fans."

He added: "I think when I stepped out on the Anfield pitch when I played Arsenal, I think it was an emotional thing for me.

"To obviously be watching the players and to be playing them with them, honestly it's a dream come true.

"To be in and around the fans as well, to hear them singing You'll Never Walk Alone when you're stepping out on the pitch, it did bring a tear to my eye.

"I just can't wait to give everything back to them and just to show them what I can do."
