"Very good position to take the next step" - Liverpool star hints at exit this summer

close

Liverpool's Jarell Quansah has hinted that he's in a good position to take his next path in his football career. The centre-back also added that he would continue to work hard while evaluating his next decision.

In a recent interview with The Athletic, the English international revealed (via Tribal Football):

“From Bristol Rovers (on loan in 2023) until now, to put perspective and look back I’m in a very good position to take the next step**.** It comes with working hard and staying focused on what I can control. As for the future, it’ll put me in the best stead if I just keep my head down and keep working.”

Quansah is a talent and remains a player who was discovered and brought up by Liverpool's youthful set-up. However, since coming to the limelight at Anfield, the youngster has been unable to break into the club's starting XI.

This could largely be due to the competition at centre-back as Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté have remained the preferred pairing. Thus, Quansah might be assessing his options in search of regular game time away from Anfield.

The aforementioned report also mentioned that Quansah has been associated with a move to Bayer Leverkusen and Newcastle United in the ongoing window. While Quansah remains contracted at Anfield till June 2029, his recent comments could indicate a summer move.

In 153 outings for the Reds, Quansah has registered nine goals and seven assists across competitions.
