The England under-17 midfielder was linked with Barcelona, Real Madrid and RB Leipzig by the British media.
“To have joined the club that I supported as a boy is a dream come true for me and all of my family and it’s an incredible feeling to now officially be able to call myself a Red!” the 16-year-old Elliott wrote on Instagram.
“I can’t wait to get started and it will be a truly special feeling to pull the famous red jersey on. I’ll work as hard as I possibly can for the club and I feel Anfield is the perfect place for me to develop and progress as a player.”
Elliott will now be part of the Juergen Klopp’s Liverpool squad for Sunday’s friendly against Napoli in Edinburgh and the subsequent training camp in Evian.
