Jarell Quansah says Jürgen Klopp’s players are “gutted” they were unable to take their Premier League title challenge further but Liverpool will come back stronger next season.

Liverpool host Tottenham on Sunday in their first match since securing Champions League qualification, thanks to Ange Postecoglou’s side losing at Chelsea on Thursday night.

The result guaranteed a top-four spot for Liverpool, who will in all likelihood finish third in the table behind Arsenal and Manchester City.

“It’s hard to take positives while the season is still going on,” Quansah said of qualifying for the Champions League.

I am looking forward to next season, but we’re just gutted we couldn’t push for the title.

It has always been the same here, at the very least qualifying for the Champions League and pushing for trophies and that is always what we are striving for and trying to do.”

Quansah made his debut in August, coming off the bench to help Liverpool’s 10 men defeat Newcastle 2-1, despite being a goal down when the centre-back replaced Joël Matip with 13 minutes to go.

“The dressing room is full of winners and people who want to win – we won [the League Cup] this year as well and from there we are in a different place to others,” Quansah said.

“We’ve got a strong group still and it will get stronger and stronger, the longer we are together.”

Liverpool have won once in their past five league games to derail their shot at winning the title.
