Liverpool are busy preparing for the new season, and are currently training out in Austria as their preparations continue.

The Reds have jetted off to Salzburg for their pre-season training camp, as they look to retain the Premier League title next season.

All of the big names were in action in Monday’s session, including new signing Kostas Tsimikas following his move from Olympiacos.

The club have naturally been sharing photos and videos from the trip, and one video they posted on Sunday caught the eye.

The clip showed Harvey Elliott breaking down the left flank having been found by Andrew Robertson.

Elliott then played in a superb cross, picking out Takumi Minamino to score a fine volley as both players showed their class.

Virgil van Dijk was on the sidelines, and shouted ‘Oh what a ball!’ as Elliott played in an inch-perfect cross, praising the teenager.

Fans are excited enough about Elliott, but having Van Dijk blown away by the teenager’s quality is another sign of his potential – and everyone will hope to see more of that this coming season.
