Liverpool starlet Harvey Elliott eyes Premier League return and sets out plan for season

Harvey Elliott has outlined his plan to help Blackburn Rovers return to the Premier League this season.

The Liverpool starlet left Anfield on domestic transfer deadline day to join up with Tony Mowbray's side at Ewood Park for a season-long loan.

Jurgen Klopp has high hopes for the talented 17-year-old and will be watching his development in the Championship with a close eye this season.

Elliott said: “I can’t wait to get started and I’d like to thank Rovers for giving me the opportunity to come here and show everyone what I can do.

“It’s a really good club and I’m really looking forward to getting started with the team. It’s been a hectic last couple of days not knowing what I’d be doing, but I’m really happy to be here.

“I’m really looking forward to meeting the boys and working with the gaffer and the staff.

“I was excited when I heard of the interest. I wanted to see what the club was all about so I watched a couple of games and researched everything about the club and the squad, to see the competition in my position."

Blackburn currently sit ninth in the Championship after five games but will be looking to push on this term.

“The team have got off to a great start and hopefully we can reach the end goal by getting promoted to the Premier League," Elliott told Blackburn's official club website.

“The style of play is very similar to what I’m used to. It’s a team that press well, play out from the back and allow players to play with freedom really.

“I’m excited and hopefully I can fit in well here. My main priority is about working hard for the team. I think every player needs that work and desire for the team.

“I’m creative and want to give this my best shot for the team and the gaffer.

“Rovers is my club, I need to work hard and I will be doing all I can to help us back to the Premier League.”
