Today’s Main LFC Headline

Jarell Quansah has signed a new long-term Liverpool contract.

The Warrington-born defender has only started one Premier League Game this season but is still a key part of the club’s plans going forward, especially given how Liverpool want to comPete on all fronts.

The 21-year-old has been a part of the first team for over a year now, after making his debut and breaking through in the 2023/24 season under Jurgen Klopp.

While he may be having to sit on the bench at the moment, Quansah can be confident that should he continue his development, he can be a long-term fixture in the team.

Ibrahima Konate, who Quansah is currently behind in the pecking order, is another player who could soon sign a new contract.

The Liverpool Echo reported on Monday morning that talks are at a “preliminary stage” with the Frenchman “but both parties are keen to extend their relationship.”
