Liverpool fans have been reeling at the news today that former Reds defender Jarell Quansah is a major target for Arsenal this summer, with the Gunners in talks with Bayer Leverkusen. Arsenal enter talks with Bayer Leverkusen for potential Jarell Quansah signing According to a report from Sky Sports, the Gunners are hoping to increase their defensive depth and have identified Quansah as a player able to play at centre-back and right-back.

Quansah: “Arsenal are in talks with Bayer Leverkusen over a possible deal for England defender Jarell Quansah. “It is likely that Arsenal would need to pay considerably more than the £30m the German club paid for Quansah last July to prise him away, with four years remaining on his contract.” Liverpool have a clause that could see them beat Arsenal to Quansah Given that Arsenal have shied away from spending £60m on Ezri Konsa, they might find themselves in a similar situation with Quansah.

Liverpool’s deal with Bayer Leverkusen, which saw the Germans sign him for £35m, included a buy-back option, which gives them the right to bring him back to Anfield for €70 million (£59.8m) this summer or €60 million (£51.3m) in 2027. While Liverpool are unlikely to exercise their buy-back clause this summer, Arsenal may find it difficult to sign Quansah given his stock has increased dramatically since leaving Anfield, where he was often scapegoated.
