Curtis Jones has explained what prompted him to leave Liverpool for Inter Milan in the summer transfer window. He said: “There’s a reason I came here: the phone calls we had, how the team plays, his tactical ideas, and how he works every single day.

He’s managed the squad brilliantly. He’s ‘one of us,’ and to me, that’s fundamental.” With 70 minutes under his belt so far, Jones will hope to make his Champions League debut for Inter against Real Madrid on Tuesday evening.

“Of course I’ve got a point to prove but I know that if I’m just myself, the lads will like me, the staff and the fans as well.” Jones was decent for Inter on his first outing for the Black and Blues, completing 31 of his 35 attempted passes (89%), including one key pass. It’s a shame that his Liverpool career ended with the disappointment of Arne Slot’s final season, but he leaves having won the Premier League twice, the FA Cup and two League Cup winners’ medals.
