Elliott, 19, has established himself as a key member of the Liverpool first-team and is tipped for big things in the future.

But after seeing him eat bread, beans and avocado for breakfast everyday, Elliott revealed Salah came to him with advice on his nutrition.

And after his input, the teenager admitted he has now swapped white bread for brown bread.

That’s despite the youngster admitting he asked himself “What is he on about?” when Salah first spoke to him about his diet.

Elliott told The Times: “My breakfast is mainly bread with beans or avocado. I did eat bread in the morning, but that was white bread.

“Now I have changed it to brown bread which is a lot healthier.

“He [Salah] is not someone to say, ‘You need to be doing this, you need to be doing that.’ He is more of a guy who helps you out and gives you pointers, and you go away and think about it.

“Now it is always in my head. At the time I was thinking, “What is he on about? I’m just having breakfast!”

“But looking back there are so many things you can change in your diet and it is just about the small margins. That is a prime example of what he is like.”

Salah’s incredible physique comes from a combination of a strict diet and a gruelling fitness regime.

And Elliott is thankful that he can learn from the best in the business.

Salah’s has scored an incredible 161 goals in 265 games for Liverpool, so it’s no wonder Elliott has taken on board his advice.

Elliott continued: “To have these players here and the chance to learn from them is amazing.

“They all want me to do well and are giving me pointers, for example Mo with the bread. I have taken it on board.”
