Liverpool have confirmed centre-back Jarell Quansah has signed a new long-term contract with the club.

After an impressive breakout season last year, Liverpool made it clear they wanted to reward Quansah's new-found status as a senior player and made real progress in a recent round of negotiations.

A deal has now been signed, with 21-year-old Quansah putting pen to paper on a new-and-improved contract.

"I couldn't be happier at this minute," he told club media.

"I think 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.

"I think the players around me, who I’m looking to work hard off and listen to, I think they're the best in the position at the minute. So, like I said, there is probably no better place I could be."

He continued: "I just want to take each step as it comes, every training session as it comes.

"I just want to keep trying to get better on the training pitch really and as long as I stay tunnel vision to that... I just want to keep progressing, keep trying to learn, and keep trying to get better and better [by] trying to learn off all the senior players, and I've got a lot in my position so anything I can take from them I am trying to do day by day.

"I am hoping to obviously push as well, hopefully we're breeding quite a good environment that we're all challenging for places and as long as we're doing that I think we'll all become better players and ultimately become a better team."

Ibrahima Konate is also being lined up for a new contract, with his deal due to expire in 2026, while Virgil van Dijk's future is of the utmost importance to Liverpool as the Dutchman approaches the final six months of his existing terms.
