Liverpool defender Quansah proud of Haaland battle

Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah is very much enjoying himself in the first team.

The 21-year-old stated that he is relishing every opportunity he gets to play, after his impressive display in the Premier League against Manchester City in a 1-1 draw at the weekend.

Quansah wants to continue to test himself against the best players in the world.

"It's one of them, I think you've got to stay ready," he told club media when asked about coming up against Erling Haaland.

"Obviously it's tough to play in a game like that, but for me personally I think to have the opportunity and to be able to learn against the best players in the world at this stage of my career is valuable."

"It was more than what I expected it to be really," he added.

"The crowd were brilliant. There was times [when] Virg is trying to shout to me and I can't hear him really!

"It was a tough game. I think both sides wanted to win the game and really attack the game.

“We were playing against world-class players and some of the best players in the Premier League, so we'll look at the game and think we should have nicked it at the end, but I think they will say the same thing as well."
