Liverpool fans have Harvey Elliott shirt number theory after new contract

Liverpool fans have predicted Harvey Elliott will eventually wear number seven at Anfield after his new contract.

Liverpool have confirmed Elliott has signed a new long-term deal with the club.

The 18-year-old penned a five-year contract after impressing during a loan spell with Blackburn Rovers last season where he scored seven goals and notched 11 assists.

Elliott is set to link up with the Liverpool first-team squad for their pre-season tour of Austria where he will hope to impress Jurgen Klopp and earn minutes when the Premier League season begins.

The winger's new deal has fans speculating about a change of number for the current 67 ahead of the new season.

Liverpool fans have taken to social media to predict a switch to the number seven for Elliott.

However, it is unlikely that we will see Elliott trot out in the number seven at Anfield next season, as the ever-consistent veteran Milner currently holds that shirt.

But it seems many fans would have no issue if the switch took place in the future.
