7 amazing stats behind Jarell Quansah’s superb 2023-24 campaign with Liverpool
With Joel Matip currently recovering from a nasty ACL injury, Jarell Quansah has taken his opportunity to step up to the senior squad with some impressive performances in 2023-24.
Jurgen Klopp hasn’t shied away from giving youngsters opportunities when the time is right and Quansah has managed to surpass all expectations so far.
The 20-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan with League One outfit Bristol Rovers and he’s managed to go from strength to strength since then.
Klopp handed the defender his Liverpool debut earlier in the season against Newcastle and he’s not looked back since. In total, Quansah has made 14 senior appearances this season with six of those games coming in the Premier League.
Liverpool clearly have a very exciting prospect on their hands and Klopp was quick to praise the youngster following the solid shift he put in against Burnley.
“Yeah, top, really good. We have so many games and Jarell is a fixed part of this first line-up – in, out, in, out, with the amount of games we play,” Klopp told reporters.
“There is not a line-up, there are line-ups and as long as they are all fit then one will start and the other will not, all these kinds of things.
“He did really well. A good footballer, which is really helpful. I think it helps him a lot to play next to Virg. He can play with Ibou as well but Virg is still the step up in leadership, I would say, and that helps for sure. It was a good performance, I liked it a lot.”
It’s easy to get carried away with the hype, but Quansah looks like the real deal for Liverpool right now. We’ve gone ahead and gathered seven stats which showcase his superb form in 2023-24.
