Liverpool star insists club has strong future without Jurgen Klopp

By Jude Summerfield

Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah says the club has a bright future ahead of the impending exit of manager Jurgen Klopp this summer.

The German boss will step down at the end of the season after nine years at Anfield, with his penultimate home game coming on Sunday when Tottenham Hotspur visit Merseyside.

Quansah made his first-team debut under Klopp, having been at Liverpool since he was five years old, and won his first piece of silverware with the club when they claimed the Carabao Cup back in February.

While that trophy will almost certainly be Klopp's last as Liverpool manager, Quansah insisted the squad is set up well to achieve success once a new manager - widely expected to be Feyenoord coach Arne Slot \- takes over.

He said: "At the end of the day, managers come and go. There are not many stay 20-plus years, especially in this era.

"As a player, it is about impressing the manager who is in charge. That is the life of a footballer.

"From when you're young, you are just trying to play for contracts and trying to stay for as long as you can. That has always been my aim.

"The gaffer has done a great job in building a foundation. The dressing room is full of winners.

"Liverpool is unique what the fans do for us and what the club means to players like me.

"I think we will always be a club who want to challenge for the league title and other trophies and definitely the Champions League.

"We have a strong group still and it will get stronger the longer we are together."

Quansah made his first-team debut for Liverpool in August 2023 and scored his first goal for the club in a Europa League defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise.
