Jarell Quansah left Liverpool supporters in stitches after brutally stating his intentions to leapfrog first-choice centre-back Joel Matip within\u00a0Jurgen Klopp’s side.<\/p>\n
The Reds youngster scored his first goal for the club in their 2-1 Europa League group stage defeat against Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise as he started alongside Ibrahima Konate in defence.<\/p>\n
Liverpool may be forced to dip into the January transfer market for another defender after Matip recently suffered a potentially season-ending ACL injury, but Qansah hopes to take his chance to become a regular starter at his boyhood club.<\/p>\n
Players rarely discuss competition amongst team-mates, but the 20-year-old wasn’t afraid to state his intentions in the wake of Matip’s unfortunate injury post-match on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Quansah has made 11 senior appearances for the Reds with each of those coming this season and brazenly revealed his ambitions to become a regular feature for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

‘It’s a shame what happened to Joel and my condolences go with him but my idea was to try and get over him anyway and try to be a starting centre-back in the Premier League at the end of the day.<\/p>\n
‘I’m just trying and any opportunity, hopefully more come, I am just trying to really push on and be the best centre-back I can be.’<\/p>\n
Reds supporters were astonished to hear the youngster’s comments, but some believe it shows the mentality that players need to have to become a regular at the club.<\/p>\n

Another similarly added: ‘I mean in all fairness it\u2019s exactly the break he needed for his career, at the expensive of his colleague\/friend but still.’<\/p>\n
