A young player is always going to learn and develop by training with some top class players every day, but there comes a point where some regular football and a loan spell will be more beneficial.
Harvey Elliott has the chance to do that with Blackburn Rovers after joining on loan from Liverpool, and he scored a goal and provided a nice assist today as they beat Coventry City in a convincing manner.
His goal made it 3-0 and effectively out the game to bed, and it’s a nice composed finish:

The assist was more impressive as he shows some lovely link up play before putting it on a plate for the striker to finish off:
Harvey Elliott's just made a beautiful goal. One flick over the defender, then receives the ball and cuts it back to Gallagher, who scores.
Goal + assist today. ?

He looks set to play a key role for Blackburn this season and they are capable of playing some ruthless attacking football, so it will be interesting to follow his development.
That’s real good most especially for a young player like that..
