Liverpool have officially announced that central defender Jarell Quansah has signed a new long-term contract with the club, following an impressive breakthrough season, Soccernet.football reports.
Quansah broke into Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool setup last season with an impressive debut appearance as a substitute. He then went on to make another 32 appearances for the Reds, finishing the campaign with a Carabao Cup winners medal to his name.
The Anfield hierarchy, keen to recognize Quansah’s rise to the senior squad, made significant progress in recent negotiations. He has now committed his future to the club by signing an improved deal that reflects his senior team status.
“I couldn’t be happier at this minute,” he told club media.
“I think the way the new manager has come in, his coaching style has definitely been a massive part of that and I think it is the best club in the world for me to develop at and become a better player.
“I think the players around me, who I’m looking to work hard off and listen to, I think they’re the best in the position at the minute. So, like I said, there is probably no better place I could be.”
“I just want to take each step as it comes, every training session as it comes.
“I just want to keep trying to get better on the training pitch really and as long as I stay tunnel vision to that… I just want to keep progressing, keep trying to learn, and keep trying to get better and better [by] trying to learn off all the senior players, and I’ve got a lot in my position so anything I can take from them I am trying to do day by day.
“I am hoping to obviously push as well, hopefully we’re breeding quite a good environment that we’re all challenging for places and as long as we’re doing that I think we’ll all become better players and ultimately become a better team.”
Meanwhile, Ibrahima Konate is also in line for a contract extension, with his current contract set to expire in 2026. Additionally, the future of Virgil van Dijk remains a top priority for Liverpool as the Dutchman enters the final six months of his current contract.
