Arne Slot has been quite the hit at Liverpool this season, with Curtis Jones one of the many players to benefit from the Dutch coach.

The 23-year-old midfielder is this week set to make his senior England debut after Jones was named in Lee Carsley’s Three Lions squad to face Greece and the Republic of Ireland in the UEFA Nations League.

With Nigel Reo-Coker noting that Jones looks transformed with the Reds this season, the Liverpool academy graduate has taken his game to a new level under Slot, who has managed to get the best out of the midfielder.

And Jones has now shared how much he enjoys playing for Slot at Liverpool this season.

Jones says Slot’s style at Liverpool ‘suits’ him more

Speaking to the press ahead of this week’s international ties, Jones shared how he feels more suited to Slot’s style at Liverpool, with the midfielder really excelling in the Dutch coach’s system this season.

Although Jones hasn’t nailed down a consistent starting XI spot under Slot, the Liverpool youngster is certainly impressing whenever given a chance to play, and the midfielder is enjoying life under his manager.

Jones said when asked about his form this season: “I feel that I’m at the point now where I’m enjoying it the most that I have. I say that in terms of style of play that suits me and the love that I’m getting from the coaches and the staff all around.

“Arne and his staff have come in and the style of play and everything is changing – the way we go and press and stuff. I think it suits me more. As a fresh start I’ll give it everything I can. I’m really enjoying it and the most important thing is that I’m playing with a smile on my face.”

Jones is starting to realise his true potential at Liverpool this season

With Slot lauding Jones as ‘outstanding’ for Liverpool this season, the England international is finally starting to realise his true potential with the Reds having broken into the senior team under Jurgen Klopp.

And this season could see Jones become a key member for Liverpool if he can nail down a starting XI spot, with Jones showing throughout the campaign that he can be a lethal weapon for the Reds in the midfield.

Versatile, adaptable and still young enough to grow, Jones is in for what will be his most exciting year yet as a Liverpool first-teamer, with the Anfield side potentially having a superstar on their hands in the 23-year-old.
