The rising star centre half says "I want to be able to say I've won a Premier League, I've won a Champions League" at Liverpool.

Liverpool today announced that 21-year-old rising star centre half Jarell Quansah has signed a new long-term deal with the club, with the Warrington-born defender officially putting pen to paper committing his future to his boyhood club.

Quansah broke into the first team last season, with the youngster making a total of 33 appearances across all competitions for the Reds in Jürgen Klopp's last season in charge at Anfield, including 17 appearances in the Premier League.

So far in 2023-24 he has seen Ibrahima Konaté reestablish himself as Virgil van Dijk's first choice partner, but there will be plenty of games to go around as the season wears on and the club continue to see Quansah as a key player for the future.

"I want to win trophies," Quansah said of his decision to extend. "I think from the Academy days, that's all you want to do, you just want to win at all costs and for me that's the greatest honour you can have as a player: to call yourself a champion.

"I think Liverpool as a club, that's what it demands. So with the time I've got, I want to be able to say I've won a Premier League, I've won a Champions League. I think we've got the quality to do that and I don't see why we can't push for that."

The local-born talent joined Liverpool's academy at the age of five and has spent his entire career at the club aside from a 16-game spell with Bristol Rovers in League One during the 2022-23 season that helped prime him for his breakout season.
