'IMPECCABLE' Liverpool player FORCED into tough decision after Arne Slot snub

‘IMPECCABLE’ Liverpool player FORCED into tough decision after Arne Slot snub

Liverpool have been blessed with an array of talented and hard-working individuals.

Throughout the squad, each position seems to be filled with players who are looking to make their mark in the Premier League and prove they want to play for one of the best teams in the world.

However, the reality for some of them is the opposite, and one defender may have to think about leaving the club after receiving minimal game time.

Why Jarell Quansah has been forced into a tough decision

Jarell Quansah is a fantastic young centre-back with an incredibly bright future. Quansah signed his first professional contract for the Reds in February 2021, before being loaned out to League One side Bristol Rovers in January 2023.

The young England Under 21’s star then returned with a wealth of first-team experience under his belt. He broke into the first team during Jurgen Klopp’s closing season and it seemed like he cemented a secure place as Virgil van Dijk’s partner.

He further proved this by having an outstanding pre-season this summer. Former Reds player Gary Mac Allister spoke about him on the official Liverpool podcast after Arne Slot’s men beat Manchester United 3-0 in the USA saying:

“I think Quansah’s pass up the side here to find Mo Salah in the build-up to Curtis’ goal was outstanding. He could easily have just played it forward, booted it in behind but he just curled it up the side.

“I think he’s been faultless. He’s been impeccable right across all the games. He’s been class, he’s a class act.”

However, things have been different for the defender since then. After starting Arne Slot’s first game against Ipswich Town, he was substituted at half-time as the coach believed he wasn’t winning enough duels.

Since then, he has played zero minutes for Liverpool, having to make friends with the substitution bench.

During Slot’s first loss as boss on Saturday, the Dutch manager switched to a back three so Liverpool’s full-backs could push up the pitch in search of an equaliser.

In this situation, you would believe a player like Quansah would be the perfect to fit into that back line, however he was ignored and remained off the pitch.

Now, recent reports have suggested that Inter Milan are eager on purchasing the 21-year-old and his head could so easily be turned. A player of his quality, talent and attitude will want to be playing regular first team football and at the moment, it seems like he is out of favour with Slot and this won’t be coming anytime soon.
