Gakpo labels Liverpool starlet ‘special kid’; Slot could turn him into a monster

Just how much potential could Arne Slot tap into?

For what it’s worth, Elliott continues to rank as one of the most exciting midfield talents in Europe’s top five leagues.

The central midfielder ranks in the 90th and 95th percentile for xG and xAG, according to FBref’s statistical profile.

It’s far from surprising to see the Englishman regularly delivering goal contributions given his propensity to be involved in possession outside the opponent’s box – as his latest effort against Spurs illustrates.

Given how many touches he gets inside the opposition box (98th percentile), however, we’re under the impression there’s a serious goalscoring threat Arne Slot could look to unlock next term.

It’s incredible to think we’re nowhere near witnessing Elliott’s full potential as a Liverpool footballer.
