Jarell Amorin Quansah (born 29 January 2003) is an English professional

centre-back for Premier League club Liverpool.[2]

Youth career

Quansah joined Liverpool at the age of five, from Woolston Rovers in his native Warrington.[3][4][5][6]

Club career

Quansah signed his first contract with the Premier League club on 4 February 2021.[4][6][7] During this 2020–21 season, he captained the Liverpool under-18 side that made it to the FA Youth Cup final, along the likes of Billy Koumetio, Melkamu Frauendorf, Max Woltman, Conor Bradley and Luke Chambers.[3][5][8]

The next season, he captained the UEFA Youth League team,[9] whilst also playing in the Premier League 2 with the reserves, and playing a key role with the latter during the Lancashire Senior Cup victory.[10][11]

Quansah then made his first appearance on the team sheet with the senior team, in the Premier League and EFL Cup,[8][12] not coming off the bench however as Liverpool won both domestic cups, finishing just two victories short from a historic quadruple.[13][14][15]

On 20 January 2023, Quansah joined League One club Bristol Rovers on loan until the end of the season.[16][17] He made his senior debut on 28 January, playing the duration of a 5–1 defeat to Morecambe, impressing despite the result.[18][19] Following an impressive performance in a 0–0 draw with Ipswich Town, Rovers' manager Joey Barton predicted Quansah to be destined for the top level of the game, citing his ability on the ball as a key asset.[20] On 18 March, he received a first career sending-off for violent conduct in the last minutes of a 2–0 home defeat to Portsmouth.[21]

On 27 August 2023, Quansah made his professional debut for Liverpool, coming on as a substitute for Joël Matip in a 2–1 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League.[22] On 14 December, Quansah scored his first goal for Liverpool against Union Saint-Gilloise in the UEFA Europa league in a 2–1 defeat.[23]

On 25 February 2024, Liverpool played in the 2024 EFL Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium. During extra time, in the 106th minute of the game, Quansah was substituted on for Ibrahima Konaté.[24] Liverpool went on to win the match 1–0 after extra time, earning Quansah his first trophy with the club.[25]

International career

Eligible to play for England as well as Scotland, Ghana, and Barbados through his grandparents,[26][5][27][28][29] Jarell Quansah first played with England youth teams, from under-16s level to the under-19s.[3][12]

In June 2022, Quansah was included in the England squad for the 2022 Under-19 Euros.[30] Starting all games as a centre-back during the competition in Slovakia, he played a key role in England's successful campaign.[31] Most notably he scored the winner in the 2–1 semi-final victory against Italy.[32][33][34][35] On 1 July 2022, Quansah started in the final and provided an assist for Callum Doyle to score the equaliser as England went on to defeat Israel 3–1 in extra time to win the tournament.[36][37][38] His performances during the competition led to his inclusion in the UEFA team of the tournament.[39]

Quansah made his England U20 debut during a 2–0 win over Germany in Manchester on 22 March 2023.[40]

On 10 May 2023, Quansah was included in the England squad for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[41] He made his debut for the England U21s on 12 October 2023, coming on as a substitute in a 9–1 win of Serbia U21s.[42]

Style of play

Quansah is a right-footed

right-back during his youth years.[3][4] He has been described as a ball-playing defender, able to break the lines with his long passes, while staying calm and focused in defence, and strong and quick-thinking in aerial duels. [12][8]

Personal life

Quansah's brother, Keenan, is also a footballer, who plays for National League North club Southport.[43]
