Jarell Quansah exclusive: Liverpool prodigy on family, football and his breakthrough ‘buzz’
New York TimesIn a season packed full of uplifting tales for Liverpool, the rise of Jarell Quansah sits above the rest. “I would have said, ‘No chance’,” says a smiling Quansah. “From that day onwards, I’ve not really played anywhere else — apart from a bit at right-back.” Quansah was in the same year as now Liverpool first-team colleague Conor Bradley, Tyler Morton, Billy Koumetio and Layton Stewart. “I was probably the shyest in my age group, so leadership didn’t come naturally,” Quansah says. If you’re not looking out of place in the squad, then you aren’t going to be sent anywhere.” Quansah had taken such strides forward that Klopp felt there was no need to sign another centre-back last summer, and the then 20-year-old effectively became fifth-choice for the first team behind Van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez.
