Jarell Quansah compilation goes viral after Liverpool wonderkid's incredible performance vs Union SG

Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah starred during his side's 2-0 win over Union SG in the Europa League - and a compilation of the wonderkid's performance shows just how impressive he was.

Quansah was starting his first Europa League game, and his second competitive fixture as a senior player at Anfield.

The 20-year-old has already shown he isn't overawed by the step up to top level football, having spent the second half of last season on loan at League One side Bristol Rovers.

A left-footed central defender, the England youth international replaced Virgil van Dijk for a Premier League clash against Wolves last month, with the Dutchman out through suspension.

Quansah impressed in that game in what was an otherwise shaky Liverpool defensive display generally. He then assisted a goal when handed his next start, in the 3-1 Carabao Cup win over Leicester.

Liverpool supporters have long called for a new centre-back to be signed as competition for Ibrahima Konate, Joel Matip and Van Dijk - but the club may well have found a solution that is already part of the squad.

Now, a compilation have been posted showing off the performances of Quansah and defensive partner Konate against Union SG.

Another comp, meanwhile, posted by SK Prods, shows extended highlights of the defender's display.

The clips show the 20-year-old as comfortable on the left side of defence, stepping up into midfield on occasion and pinging long range passes to Liverpool's attackers.

He showed no fear when required to tackle or get involved with aerial duels, and looked comfortable on the ball in a number of tight situations.

Speaking about Quansah after the win, manager Jurgen Klopp said (quotes via Liverpool Echo): "I was not in doubt that he was ready [to start the game]. It's all because of him.

"It was not a difficult decision to line him up tonight. He is still young, we have a really good football team together, which means he will get minutes.

"He will play U21s as well. That is nice to see, it's a joy to watch his development since he is properly with us.

"He is a really good footballer, on the ball, outstanding. The chance of Mo [Salah] in the first half, he could have got the assist. It was top defending, really quick thinking, stepping into it.

"He will feel rather good, I would say, and rightly so."
