Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, may have uncovered a new defensive tactic that may save them money in the transfer market.
After numerous high-profile departures during the summer transfer window, it was widely reported that Liverpool was concentrating on rebuilding their midfield unit.
Jurgen Klopp signed players like Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch.
In addition to the midfield, it was commonly rumored that the Liverpool club was looking to acquire a gifted young left-sided central defense.Levi Colwill, Goncalo Inacio, and others were rumored to be moving to Liverpool, but nothing ever came to pass.
The emergence of Jarell Quansah may have resolved Liverpool’s defensive issues now that the new season has been going for two months.
First Quansah was given his first Europa League team on Thursday after excelling in the 2-0 victory over Union Saint Gilloise.
Quansah, who was defending on the left side, always appeared swift and powerful. The 20-year-old demonstrated his range of passing on the ball, which will only improve with time and experience.Quansah had a pass percentage of 90% against Union Saint Gilloise, won two of three ground battles, and recovered eight balls.
After the game, Klopp stated: “Starting him tonight was not a difficult choice for us. still a child. He’ll get some time. It’s pleasant to see. Watching his growth has been wonderful.
Quansah has also been awarded for his outstanding 23/24 season debut
The rise of Quansah has come at the perfect time for Klopp to be able to save millions to invest elsewhere. With players like Joel Matip and Joe Gomez having unclear futures at the club and Virgil van Dijk not getting any younger, Quansah’s breakthrough has been a boon to Klopp.
Despite having a market value of only about €400,000 right now, there is no reason why Quansah can’t become a £20–£30 million defender in a few years.
