On the day Liverpool announced another new contract, with Harvey Elliott the latest to commit his long-term future to the club, the Reds ranked top in an interesting survey in America!
Five more years of Harvey!
Another Liverpool player put pen to paper on a contract extension today, and it wasn’t one many were expecting so soon.
Elliott only signed his last deal 13 months ago – that itself a year after agreeing his first professional terms, but now the Reds have rewarded his progress yet again.
The new deal runs until 2027, with Elliott following James Milner, Mohamed Salah, Joe Gomez, Diogo Jota, Harvey Davies and Stefan Bajcetic in committing his future to the club this summer.
The England under-21 international swapped No. 67 shirt for No. 19 in pre-season, and his new deal looks to be another indication of the prominent role he looks set to play in Jurgen Klopp‘s team in 2022/23.
Next on Liverpool’s contract agenda will probably be an extension for Naby Keita, who has now entered the final year of his existing deal.
