Harvey Elliott is relishing the competition for places at Liverpool following an £150m midfield revamp this summer.
The 20-year-old has made 16 appearances for the Reds so far this season, but has only started once in the Premier League
Along with the new quartet, Elliott is also vying with Curtis Jones for starting opportunities, while Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic will enhance the competition further
A boyhood Reds fan, Elliott is delighted by the impact Klopp’s new signings are having at Anfield.
Rather than being frustrated at his limited starting opportunities, he is actually enjoying the new competition for places.

“Yeah, (they’ve helped me) massively. These lads have come in and hit the ground running and it's healthy competition now,”
“We’re all striving towards the same goal, which is winning trophies.
“It’s healthy competition within the squad, which is what we want. Every time someone else plays or I play, the support around me is unbelievable from these lads and I do the same for them as well.
“We're a team at the end of the day. You can't be frustrated that you're not playing. You just need to stay patient and when you get your opportunity, you need to take it.
“These boys who have come in, you can see the quality they have, hence why they've been bought for a lot of money and why they've signed for Liverpool - the best club in the world.
“We're going to attract the best players as well. For me to be learning off them is great.”
