It’s a huge, huge honour to get called up and I’m thankful to the manager for that as well. “Hopefully it’s something that I will achieve, a cap for England, and it would be a great moment for me and my family.

“It’s something hopefully I can keep working and keep striving for.” It has been 16 months since Quansah’s first senior call-up – an important period in the defender’s development, which saw him play a role in Liverpool’s Premier League title win. “This time around I’ve managed to play and feature and we won the title, so it’s been great for my development and leading onto this season with a regular sort of run of games that I’ve been on.” Quansah hopes Thursday’s Wembley friendly against Wales provides the opportunity to show his quality on the international stage having continued the stream of young English talent moving abroad.

“I’m 22 turning 23, I’m going to be needing hundreds of games to be where I want to be at the end of the day. “I think overall that’s just why the decision was made and why I thought going abroad was sort of best for me.” England have called up Manchester City’s Nico O’Reilly for the upcoming games following the withdrawal of Chelsea captain Reece James.
