'I want to be known as a champion'

Jarell Quansah believes "Liverpool is the best place" to win trophies, after the defender signed a new long-term contract at the club.

Speaking to  the 21-year-old said: "It is the best club in the world for me to develop at and become a better player. The players around me, who I'm looking to work hard off and listen to, they're the best in the position at the minute. So, there is probably no better place I could be."

Quansah joined the club at the age of five, and after over 15 years at the club, he believes the future is bright: "We're building, definitely, a winning environment, like we saw last year when we were able to lift a trophy.

"There are a lot of players here who have still got a bit of unfinished business left, who definitely want to win titles.

"That's ultimately what I want to do as well. I want to be known as a champion, I want to be a winner, and I think Liverpool is the best place for me at this moment."

Quansah has made two appearances for the Reds' this season, and started in Liverpool's first Premier League game of the season. However, since the opening day he has only appeared in the Carabao Cup.

Speaking about his ambitions, he said: "I want to win trophies. That's what Liverpool as a club demands. From the academy days, that's all you want to do. You want to win at all costs. The greatest honour you can have as a player is to call yourself a champion.

"I want to be able to say I've won a Premier League, I've won a Champions League. I do think we've got the quality to do that and I don't see why we can’t push for that."
