Quansah Says Leaving Liverpool Won Him a World Cup Place

Regular first‑team minutes and Champions League experience at Bayer Leverkusen convinced England coach Thomas Tuchel to include him in the squad.

Overview

  • Quansah left Liverpool last summer in a deal reported at about £35m to join Bayer Leverkusen so he could play week‑in, week‑out and speed his development.
  • He became a regular at Leverkusen, making roughly 44 appearances with about 40 starts and featuring in the Champions League, which raised his international profile.
  • Tuchel, who observed Quansah at Under‑21 level, has integrated him into senior squads and rewarded his club form with a place on England’s World Cup roster in the United States.
  • Quansah’s ability to cover centre‑back and right‑back adds tactical value for tournament squads and helped secure his selection despite having only a handful of senior caps.
  • Liverpool are reported to have included a buyback clause in the transfer valued at about £55m, a move that keeps the club linked to his future and could prompt a recall if he continues to progress.
