According to his former manager, Liverpool’s Curtis Jones possesses all the attributes required to become a prominent midfielder in the Premier League.
Despite facing limited starts this season under Jurgen Klopp due to injuries and suspensions, the 22-year-old midfielder has garnered praise from Lee Carsley, who believes in Jones’s potential at the highest level.
Jones, who contributed significantly to England’s Under-21 team’s success in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, played a crucial role under Carsley’s guidance.
Carsley emphasized Jones’s exceptional talent and expressed confidence in his abilities, stating that Jones ranks among the most gifted players he has worked with.
Highlighting Jones’s versatility, speed, power, scoring ability, and defensive skills, Carsley remarked that the midfielder only needs more opportunities to shine.
Despite intermittent struggles with consistency and fitness, Jones has showcased outstanding performances, particularly during the summer.
Carsley commended Jones for carrying his excellent form, responsibility, and positional understanding from the international stage to Liverpool.
The former Everton player acknowledged that Jones, given the chance, has the potential to excel.
Jones has started in seven out of nine appearances this season, contributing to Liverpool’s victories over Aston Villa, Wolves, and West Ham in the Premier League.
However, a red card against Tottenham interrupted his league participation, and he recently returned for a 5-1 win over Toulouse before facing another period on the sidelines.
Jurgen Klopp provided insights into Jones’s injury status, indicating a low-grade hamstring injury that occurred after the international break.
Despite setbacks, Klopp expressed confidence in Jones’s return to action, acknowledging his fitness and the need for a consistent playing rhythm.
