Liam Rosenior has brought much-needed stability to Stamford Bridge after arriving from Strasbourg on a six-and-a-half-year contract. The 41-year-old inherited a Chelsea side that had managed just one win in nine Premier League matches under the departed Enzo Maresca.
His impact has been immediate and impressive: four wins from five matches across all competitions, including back-to-back league victories that propelled Chelsea up to fourth in the table. Rosenior became the first Chelsea manager since Graham Potter to win his opening two Premier League games, claiming six points with a clinical 3-1 victory at Crystal Palace following a Brentford triumph.
And it seems that under Rosenior’s stewardship, Chelsea are keeping an eye on one situation at Anfield. Chelsea reporter Simon Phillips has claimed that the Blues are keeping tabs on Curtis Jones and his contract situation on Merseyside (via The Chelsea Chronicle).
The Reds man is seen as an alternative toto their faltering pursuit of Douglas Luiz as injuries have meant that Rosenior’s side have just three fit and natural central midfield options: Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, and Andrey Santos. Against this backdrop, it’s claimed Curtis Jones has been “suggested as an option that Chelsea could turn to”.
His current deal expires in summer 2027. Having signed his last extension in November 2022 when he was a squad player under Jurgen Klopp, Jones is not among Liverpool’s top earners. By summer 2026, Jones enters final-year territory where his negotiating power surges. If Liverpool don’t secure a renewal soon, they risk losing him for minimal compensation in 2027 or watching him run down his contract to leave on a free transfer.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur have also been credited with interest in the 24-year-old, with the North London club also well aware of his contract situation at Anfield.
