Arne Slot has shown his support for Jarell Quansah after Liverpool’s win at Brighton and the past Reds target, Aurelien Tchouameni, could become available again.

Today’s Main LFC Headline

Slot’s men won 3-2 in the League Cup fourth round last night but Quansah had a second half, earning the lowest average rating overall.

The 21-year-old gifted Brighton a way back into the Game at 2-0 and also saw the ball deflect off him for the hosts’ second goal, before being substituted in stoppage time.

Speaking to reporters after the Game, though, Slot made it clear that there is no issue with Quansah, with an overreaction uncalled for.

“If you play at a club like Liverpool you’ve got two quality players for many positions,” Slot said.

“And if you look at the way Joe Gomez played and also Jarell Quansah, who was maybe a bit unlucky with the goal we conceded, because his overall performance – from the both of them – I liked as well.

“So they’re in comPetition with Virgil and Ibou, that’s what you have at Liverpool.”
