Liverpool have been told they currently boast the best teenage talent in world football on their books in Harvey Elliott.
That is the view of former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson, who has been hugely impressed with the young winger's start to life at Anfield.
Signed from Fulham last summer for a fee that is yet to be decided by a tribunal, boyhood Reds fan Elliott has already made seven first-team appearances despite only turning 17 this month.
And the Surrey-born forward has shown enough during those outings to convince Robinson that he is a future star in the making.
Asked by Football Insider if there is currently any player in world football who is the same age as Elliott and better, he replied: “If there is I have not seen them.
“When he has come into the team he has done outstandingly well. At 17 he looks comfortable and capable. He is going to have a very long and profitable career.
“To come into the Liverpool squad is not easy. Look at the quality of player they have got.
“They are European champions and probably Premier League champions so the pull to come to Liverpool has never been higher. They can pull in the world’s best talent if they wanted to but the fact that they have given him a new contract shows you what they think of him.
“A quality player. I rate him. He is going to be around for a long, long time at the top level and at Liverpool if he wants to be.”
