Jarell Quansah has been the breakthrough academy star this season and has continued to take every chance that is handed his way, including in his latest appearance against LASK.

When the ball then came to Ibrahim Mustapha, the 20-year-old threw himself in the way of the goal-bound effort.
It was a piece of defending that will surely make many Liverpool fans think that we may have already found Virgil van Dijk’s long-term replacement.
