Elliott declares Liverpool loan call; talks up Jones

Harvey Elliott has ruled out a new loan move away from Liverpool this season.

The midfielder spent last season with Blackburn Rovers, where he scored seven goals and produced 11 assists.

He told liverpoolfc.com: "It's a decision that you've got to make for yourself, really. I think it was the right decision to go away and get game time and play competitive football. Looking back on it, I think it was personally the right decision. But it's all in the last season now, I've got to focus on this season and focus on getting in this team. But the experiences I witnessed and went through last year are definitely going to help me this year.

"You can always do better, you can always get more. I missed chances and I missed passes to get more stats to my name. But it's part of football. Now, this year I've got the chance to go and do it again. It was a good season last season but my focus is just on this season, really."

Elliott also admits he's taking inspiration from fellow Reds youngster Curtis Jones who impressed last term.

He added: "I can't speak highly enough of Curtis, he's a top boy as well as a top player. He's a prime example, as well as Trent, in how the path is there, it's just down to you whether to take it or not. You look at Curt in games – he's a game-changer, in my opinion.

"He's only going to go from strength to strength. I've been speaking closely with him and working with him because he's the same sort of age bracket. We get on really well. He's a legend to be around."
