Jarell Quansah has credited new Liverpool manager Arne Slot’s style with playing a “massive” part in his joy at the club after signing a new contract.
The 21-year-old has been handed a new deal despite not featuring in the Premier League since being substituted on the opening day of the season, with The Mirror reporting that he has committed to the Reds until 2028.
“I couldn’t be happier at this minute,” Quansah told Liverpool’s website. “The way the new manager has come in, his coaching style has definitely been a massive part of that and I think it is the best club in the world for me to develop at and become a better player.
“The players around me, who I’m looking to work hard off and listen to, are the best in the position at the minute. There is probably no better place I could be.”

Quansah’s previous contract was worth £15,000 a week, according to Rousing the Kop, which would make his salary £780,000.
Liverpool fans remain keen to see the futures of their out-of-contract starters resolved, with Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk having under a year remaining on their deals.
Slot, who succeeded Jurgen Klopp as boss in June, reiterated on Saturday that he did not have an update on the trios’ situations.
