Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is full of praise for young teammate Harvey Elliott.

Jones has no doubts the more Elliott plays the better he will be.

He told liverpoolfc.com: “I think I saw [Jamie] Carragher saying about him being a super-sub, that's good and Harvey has influenced games off the bench, but he is one of those that the more he plays, the better he becomes, whether that's starting or off the bench.

“In his mind now, the more starts he gets, the better he will play. Mo [Salah] has gone as well [to the Africa Cup of Nations], so the right-hand side has opened up even more for him.

“Now he's able to play as a half-space No.8 or off the right, he can play on the left, he can play as a No.10, he's a gifted lad and he's shown that definitely."

Jones, 22, also said: “I feel this is the main time that I've had a real run of games and I've really taken a chance. I've been around the team since I was 17 or 18, so it's been a long, long time.

“It's been up and down but I feel that this is the time I feel, I don't want to say established because there's still a long way to go, but I feel that this is the time I've really shown what I can do, and I'm in a position that I've not been in [before] now.

“I'm grateful every time I'm out on the pitch but I am at a point now where I want to be scoring more goals, assisting more and helping the team a lot more."
