Bayer Leverkusen's summer signing Jarell Quansah admits Jurgen Klopp gave him a boost of confidence while also helping him plan for his future.

Liverpool have reportedly agreed to sign a shock Marc Guehi alternative in 2027 with personal terms already finalised for the £35 million defender. The Red's frantic transfer window ended in heartbreak after their pursuit of Crystal Palace captain Guehi spectacularly fell through. The England centre-back had been poised for a high-profile Anfield switch, even undergoing medical checks, before Palace chairman Steve Parish pulled the plug at the final hour.

England defender Jarell Quansah has been forced to pull out of the England squad ahead of their upcoming World Cup qualifier against Latvia after picking up an injury. The ex-Liverpool centre-back will now head back to his club Bayer Leverkusen, while manager Thomas Tuchel has decided not to name Quansah's replacement for their final game in the ongoing international break.

Former Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah has given his reasons for leaving Arne Slot's side in favour of a move to Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen. The 22-year-old, who has been included in Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the fixtures against Wales and Latvia, explained how he needed to be playing more regularly, and that was not guaranteed if he'd decided to stay in the Premier League.
