Harvey Elliot reveals his Steven Gerrard dream as Liverpool prodigy targets ultimate prize

Liverpool prodigy Harvey Elliot has set his sights on becoming the next Steven Gerrard.

The teenage winger is the youngest ever player to start a senior match for the Anfield club and has been tipped for a big future.

Elliot, 17, is a boyhood Liverpool fan and his ultimate goal is emulate iconic club captain now Rangers boss Gerrard.

He told the club's website: "I strive to be like Steven Gerrard, to be as big of a legend here as him.

"I want to win the Premier League and the Champions League with this amazing club.

"For me, that's what I strive towards and I want to help the club in every way possible to accomplish these things."

Elliot's Premier League debut arrived when he replaced Mohamed Salah as a substitute in Liverpool 's win over Sheffield United earlier this season.

And he's also credited the Egyptian as having an impact on his development.

"For myself, looking at him in my position, I idolise him a lot. To be going up against him in training, I learn a lot of things from him.

"Even in the gym as well - he is telling me to do a higher weight, he is telling me to push myself even more, so to have him in the club and around us young players, he is a really big influence.

"It's a dream come true."
