Every season, it seems like a fresh young player from Liverpool FC breaks through to the first squad. The most recent player to do so is Jarell Quansah, who has largely performed well. Quansah appeared to make a breakthrough in his most recent Carabao Cup matchup against Bournemouth, putting on a truly impactful display.
The youthful defender received particular recognition from boss Jürgen Klopp ahead of Liverpool’s Europa League match against Toulouse:
“If you would have asked me in pre-season that he would have been that good I would have been surprised, but since then I have seen him every day and I am not surprised about it anymore because I know from the first day of pre-season how good a player he will be. So, yes, great to have a boy from our own Academy with that quality, with that potential, we will see where it will end up, but it’s really promising.
“He’s doing extremely well so far, it’s really cool as well, he’s good on the ball, aggressive in the challenges, has everything you need and a lot of space for improvement and development. That’s the best possible news for Liverpool. I am really happy he is here. There were obviously talks could he go on loan, he was on loan last year, can he go on loan again; we said no, so that was obviously a very good decision.”
The employer is clearly impressed with young Jarell. He has taken his chances, and if the coaching keeps giving him minutes sparingly, he will probably keep getting better and build on his encouraging start. Personally, I’m eager to see how he will appear at the conclusion of the season.
