The Reds enjoyed a famous season in Elliott’s first campaign at the club in 2019/2020, winning the top-flight for the first time in 30 years. They ended the season with 99 points, though with Elliott still in the academy at the time, he only played a small part.
He made two appearances over the course of the season, totally seven minutes, after coming off the bench against Sheffield United and Crystal Palace. At the time, Premier League rules stated that medals could only be given to those with a minimum of five appearances. That meant that Elliott would have been set to miss out as his team-mates celebrated. But the winger has now revealed that thanks to Klopp fulfilling a promise, he was able to be rewarded for his efforts.
“I am not sure if it was [Klopp’s] medal, it could have been his but I got one at the end of the day, I walked into the changing room after the parade and the presentations and they gave it to me then,” he told the Liverpool Echo.
“I mean I can’t really describe how I felt I was just over the moon and sending pictures to my mum and dad [saying]: ‘I’ve got a medal! I’ve got a medal!’ And they were in the ground as well, so I was able to go up and show them and have a bit of a celebration with them.
Harvey Elliott has revealed he only received a Premier League winners’ medal thanks to a classy gesture from Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
