Harvey Elliott has signed a new contract with Liverpool that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2027, which offers reward for his outstanding growth with the Reds since signing from Fulham three years ago.
Elliott, who ranked fifth on the 2022 NXGN list of the world’s top young footballers, is seen by Liverpool as a star of the present as well as the future, and is hoping to establish himself as a regular starter under Klopp this season.

What Are The Terms Of Elliott’s New Liverpool Contract?
Elliott’s new contract is for five years and includes a significant pay increase. Following an excellent season on loan with Blackburn Rovers, the teenager signed an extension last summer, but this new move sees him rewarded for his growth within Liverpool’s senior set-up.
Elliott, for example, was a starter in midfield this time last year, only to suffer a catastrophic foot injury in a win over Leeds in September 2021.
He overcame his injury to return to play the following February, netting his first goal for Liverpool in a competitive match against Cardiff City. He was a member of the team that won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup while coming agonisingly close in the Premier League and Champions League.
What Has Elliott Said On His New contract?
“It’s always nice to know that I’m going to be here for many more years, which is always a great thing with it being my boyhood club and there is nothing in this world that makes me more happy and more excited than this,” Elliott told Liverpool’s official website after signing his new contract.
“It’s been a big rollercoaster for me and my family and even for the club. So much has happened in the years that I have been here.
“We’ve already won so much and hopefully we can win so much more, so just to know that I am going to be here for a long time again – as I said, it’s always a wonderful feeling for myself and my family [and] being Liverpool supporters there is no better place in this world to be than playing for Liverpool and to put the shirt on and go out and play for the team and the fans.
“I’m hoping there are many more memories to come with it but I’m just so excited to put pen to paper and stay here for a lot longer.”

What Has Klopp Said On Elliott’s New Contract?
Klopp was pleased with the news, stating, “There is so much to like about this. For us, as a club, we get to continue our journey with a special young player who has already made a big impact on Liverpool.
“For Harvey, he gets to carry on developing, improving and hopefully fulfilling his incredible talent at the club he has always supported. What’s not to like?
“Harvey got a big knock last season but, like all of the experiences he has had so far, he used it to grow as a person and a player.
“It was always obvious that he was a good footballer but taking the next steps was always going to be about using information and experiences to grow and this is exactly what Harvey is doing.
“Now it is all about carrying on enjoying his football as much as we enjoy watching him develop. It is an exciting time for him and for us.”
