Aged only 21, Harvey Elliott has made 117 first-team appearances for Liverpool. The midfielder revealed that he trained with the Chelsea academy before getting rejected by them.
“So I was at a few clubs when I was younger. I was at Chelsea when I was a kid, and they released me because they said I was too small,” he said, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo.
“And then I was just playing with my friends for a year, like Sunday League, [when I was] 11, 12. I was at Fulham, like a pre-academy thing, like you go sometimes, once a week, twice a week, to train, but I didn’t really enjoy it.
“But then Fulham contacted my father and said ‘look, I hear he hasn’t got a club, does he want to come for a trial?’. Then I went for a trial at Fulham when I was 13 and then [was there] up until 16 when I left.”
