Liverpool have had a busy season in the Premier League so far.
After a high-spending summer and several changes in the squad, the team is still finding its rhythm under Arne Slot.
Fans have seen flashes of brilliance, but questions remain about the depth of the squad and which players will feature regularly.
The midfield, in particular, has been a topic of discussion.
Liverpool have invested heavily in new players, including Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Milos Kerkez.
Yet some young stars are still carving out their place.
Curtis Jones, once a fringe player earlier in the season, has started to establish himself in the heart of Liverpool’s midfield. His improvement has not gone unnoticed outside Anfield.
Liverpool are entering a period of uncertainty. Ibrahima Konate and Andrew Robertson’s futures are still under discussion.
Marc Guehi is on the brink of a move to Manchester City from Crystal Palace. Mohamed Salah has returned from the Africa Cup of Nations, but his pre-tournament comments against Arne Slot have left questions about his long-term commitment.
The squad will likely need reinforcements, especially in midfield, as Liverpool aim to secure a top-four finish.
Amid this backdrop, it has now emerged that Tottenham Hotspur had Curtis Jones on their radar.
According to The Times, Curtis Jones “had been attracting interest from Tottenham Hotspur.”
With Tottenham’s £35 million signing of Conor Gallagher, their immediate interest in Curtis Jones now appears to have ended.
Jones, described by Arne Slot as a “complete midfielder,” has become a key figure in Liverpool’s squad this season.
He overcame a slow start to earn regular minutes after spending significant periods on the bench during Liverpool’s challenging early campaign.
Although Spurs have now turned to Gallagher, Liverpool will likely keep a close eye on Jones’ situation.
The England international has just 18 months left on his contract, and if he does not renew, Spurs, or other clubs could revisit their interest in the summer.
Slot’s comments underline Jones’ importance, “He’s been out a few times and we know how important he is for us.”
Liverpool supporters will hope that their academy talent continues to develop.
His progression represents stability in the midfield at a time when the club is managing injuries, transfers, and long-term contracts.
Curtis Jones’ potential departure would mark another significant change in what has already been a period of transition at Anfield.
