Harvey Elliott Urges Mo Salah to Stay at Liverpool for the Rest of His Career
Liverpool youngster Harvey Elliott has urged teammate Mo Salah to stay at Anfield for the rest of his career, praising the Egyptian as “one of the best in the world.” Salah has been a star for the Reds since joining in 2017, and his influence on the team is undeniable. Despite being a teammate, Elliott is just as enamoured with Salah as supporters, and said he would ‘do his best’ to keep him at Anfield.
Salah’s Impact on Liverpool
Salah is an idol for Liverpool supporters and has been consistently world class for the last six years. He has scored an incredible 129 goals in just 198 appearances for the Reds, and has also provided 61 assists. During the summer transfer window, This Is Anfield understands that Liverpool turned down a £150 million approach from Al-Ittihad for Salah.
Elliott is trying to glean as much information as possible from Liverpool’s No. 11, saying: “He has eyes all over the place and I do try and ask him, you know, I am close to him in that sense, so I do try and work as close to him as possible, to learn. Learning from the best, it’s exactly that.”
Elliott’s Plea to Salah
After beating Wolves, Elliott told reporters, including the Liverpool Echo: “Touch wood he doesn’t ever leave but, if he does go, then I want to be that person to learn from him and apply it in my game. Hopefully, as I say, he doesn’t leave and he’s here for the rest of his career. I will do my best [to keep him] but to be just learning from him and in the same team as him is just a dream come true, as well as everyone else in the team.”
Elliott added: “Mo is an absolutely unbelievable player as well as an unbelievable guy and he’s got that finishing ability and he’s got that creative ability as well. It’s not hard to see the quality player that he is and why he is one of the best in the world. To be able to play with him and to be able to learn from him, be close to him is a dream come true. I am not surprised [by his assists].”
Conclusion
Harvey Elliott has made it clear that he wants Mo Salah to stay at Liverpool for the rest of his career. The 20-year-old is trying to learn as much as possible from Salah, who is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world. Despite Liverpool turning down a £150 million bid for Salah during the summer transfer window, it remains to be seen if he will stay at Anfield for the long-term. Until then, Elliott will continue to do his best to keep Salah at Liverpool.
