Liverpool boss Klopp: Bristol Rovers set up Quansah for season

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is backing Jarell Quansah to become a star in the coming years.

The youngster has gatecrashed the club's first team this season, impressing since pre-season.

Quansah started the club's Premier League game against Wolves last weekend and looked assured in the first team.

“He is at the right moment at the right club, he is our boy, a fantastic boy, one with huge interest (for) England, massive, massive competition," said Klopp of the English defender to reporters.

"Played a super season last season (on loan at Bristol Rovers) and so deserved to start against Wolves.

"Some people may say it was a brave decision (to pick him) I didn't see it as a brave decision. We knew his strengths, he did really well and I like it a lot. You could see the smile on his face after the game - he now has three games under his belt and that's nine points I think, so not a bad record."
