Arsenal 'make contact' with Quansah as they aim to snap up former Liverpool defender

[p]Following his £35million move from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/liverpool/lId4TMwf/"]Liverpool[/a] last summer, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/quansah-jarell/KtIpCeFE/"]Quansah[/a] has impressed for the German side and was picked by England boss Thomas Tuchel to star at the World Cup as he helped the Three Lions claim a bronze medal. [/p][p]Tuchel praised the young defender ahead of the World Cup, highlighting his quality.[/p][p][b]“I have a lot of trust in Jarell. I see his talent, but I see the package. [/b][/p][p][b]“He is tall, he is fast, he is strong in build-up. He is strong in the air. I saw him very strong playing for Liverpool in this position (right-back). So I always wanted to try.” [/b][/p][p]Tuchel’s comments clearly caught the eye of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/arsenal/hA1Zm19f/"]Arsenal[/a] boss Mikel Arteta who, as per transfer expert [i][b]Fabrizio Romano[/b][/i], is interested in snapping him up despite his ties to rivals Liverpool. [/p][p][b]“Arsenal made contact with Jarell Quansah’s camp over a possible move this week."[/b][/p][embed guid="7e8221ec-f474-4f54-8542-b5081507b3c6" url="https://x.com/TheAthleticFC/status/2088207106524467668?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p]“Initial talks as @RobDorsettSky reported, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/bayer-leverkusen/4jcj2zMd/"]Bayer Leverkusen[/a] will try to keep the defender this season. [/p][p][b]“Liverpool had €70m buy back clause this summer but expired - no clauses for other clubs.” [/b][/p][p]The Gunners were also interested in Aston Villa centre-back Ezri Konsa, but his price tag was too high for Arteta and his team to make a deal work. [/p][p]Quansah played alongside Konsa during the World Cup and at just 23 years old he has a very high ceiling. A move to North London would break a few hearts in Merseyside, especially after Liverpool missed out on their chance to re-sign the defender who would slide in alongside captain Virgil van Dijk at the back. [/p]
