Liverpool have completed their second piece of business ahead of the summer window following the news that academy starlet Jarell Quansah has committed to a new contract at the club.
Quansah has spent the second half of the season on loan at League One side Bristol Rovers, where he has started all bar one of the games he has been available for Joey Barton's side.
The 20-year-old recently represented England U20s in the recent international break, and has committed to fresh terms at Liverpool that will keep him at the club.

He also captained the Reds' U18 side to FA Youth Cup success in 2021, and will hope to be the next academy starlet to break into Jurgen Klopp's first team.
But he is not the only academy graduate to commit to fresh terms with the Reds.
Reds starlet signs new deal
Following on from Quansah, young right-back Isaac Mabaya has agreed a new contract to stay at Liverpool, the club have confirmed via their official website.

The 18-year-old trained with Liverpool's first team during last summer's pre-season, showing the faith that club coaches have in the youngster. He also made several appearances during their friendly schedule.
He also played twice for England U19s in September during two European Championship qualifiers. Mabaya is eligible to play for the Zimbabwe national team, but turned down an approach to play for them in March 2022.
He is a versatile player, who can also play in more advanced roles on the right side of the pitch, or in the centre of midfield.
Mabaya suffered an injury in the beginning of the season which he has been recovering from, and was praised by Liverpool development coach Vitor Matos last year.

Speaking in July, Matos explained (quotes via Soccer24): "I think what they [Mabaya and Stefan Bajcetic] have done in this pre-season that we could say that we expected, considering the last moments of the last season. We recognise a lot of talents, different kinds of profiles as well, individually.
"Isaac, his physical attributes are really, really good and he's someone that can really give life to the right side of a team."
