Liverpool boss Klopp: Little boy Elliott can be a playmaker

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was happy to see Harvey Elliott score in their friendly win over Blackpool.

It marked the teen's first senior goal for the Reds.

Klopp said, "It's in his hands. I liked much more the offers he made today, he was really sharp, he was quick, he offered different runs to what he is usually doing. Inside this little boy is a playmaker, he can be a playmaker, but he has to be a finisher as well.

"You have to be a striker, you have to be a defender and all that stuff. That's what we are all trying to figure out to bring it on the pitch – and that's good, of course. It was very nice for him to score this goal today."
