Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is delighted with what he's seeing from Harvey Elliott at the start of this season.

Elliott has been outstanding for the Reds.

"First and foremost he is a wonderfully-raised boy," said Klopp. "When you see him playing you think 'wow for a 19-year-old...', but mostly it is all about the background and where he is coming from and how he was raised.

"Since he is here from the first day the players really took him under their wings. He didn't get treated like a 17, 18 or now like a 19-year-old boy. That is why he is in the middle of everything, which is absolutely helpful.

"We all forgot how good he was a year ago and he was a year younger before all the rubbish things happened. That's the case, he is just that good. That's Harvey, a real talent but we all need luck in moments. Let's just hope that he can go through this and develop and build on this wonderful basis."

Klopp is mindful not to place any great expectation on the teenager's shoulders.

"If you want to write whatever you want then write it," he continued. "It cannot be positive enough with the impression we have got now so far, but all the rest is not about that now going too early in a career, saying what he can reach and should reach.

"Can we judge what he can reach? Nobody knows that. That's why I am completely calm with it. It's great.

"He didn't get different treatment since he performed outstandingly well, compared with the treatment he got before. He is the same boy. We literally love him because he is outstanding as a person as well. I cannot tell you 'shh, don't talk about him'. Do what you want but without my coloured pictures."
