Jurgen Klopp reportedly stopped Jarell Quansah from leaving Liverpool this summer, with the Reds rejecting multiple loan offers for the defender.
According to the Daily Mail, the Anfield boss was key in keeping the 20-year-old defender on Merseyside, with Quansah since becoming Liverpool’s breakout star of the season.
The centre-back made his first Premier League start of Saturday against Wolves, where Virgil van Dijk lauded Quansah as ‘outstanding’ at Molineux.
With the England youth international expected to start tonight against LASK, Klopp’s decision to keep Quansah at Liverpool is looking more and more like a masterstroke.
Moreover, with Van Dijk picking up a league suspension and Ibrahima Konate suffering another injury, Quansah has found himself at the right place at the right time for Liverpool.
Indeed, the England youth international has been the feelgood story of the season for Liverpool, and Klopp’s decision to keep Quansah only looks better with each passing game.
Klopp keeping Quansah at Liverpool was a masterstroke
Klopp’s transfer decisions at Liverpool have often hit their mark, yet few have been as good in regards to foresight than Quansah.
The defender has emerged as a key player for the Reds this season and a talent who could hit some serious potential with the right amount of minutes and development on the training pitch.
And for Klopp, he should be pleased with trusting his intuition on Quansah, with the defender only going to get better from now on.
