'His talent is frightening': Henderson gushes over Harvey Elliott's development at Liverpool

"Harvey is in a very different stage of his development to Curtis, because of his age, but nonetheless the same lessons apply," Jordan told Liverpoolfc.com.

"His talent is frightening. But again, ability gets you so far and then mentality and attitude have to match it.

"We’ve seen Harvey grow as a player and a person during this campaign and what excites me most of all is that there is still so much more room for development. He gets that as well. 

"You can see he has a hunger and thirst for learning from the coaches and from the other players.

"You will not meet a nicer, more grounded lad than Harvey off the pitch and he fits in perfectly to the culture we have in our dressing room. 

"And I think, without sounding immodest, the environment we have at Liverpool is perfect for him.

"The other point to make, on Harvey in particular, is to back up something the gaffer said, which is about allowing him space and time to grow. 

"There is quite a lot of focus on Harvey and I get that because of things like being the youngest player to make an appearance in the Premier League. That brings a spotlight and scrutiny that can have an impact.

"As a club and as a team we will make sure our environment is protective of these lads. They have to be allowed to make mistakes, have bad moments, because it’s from those periods that you learn the most."

The 17-year-old just recently signed his first professional contract with Liverpool and it's really exciting to see his true potential unfold. Especially after Klopp's claims that he doesn't allow the fans to see 'the real Harvey' yet.
