Liverpool youngster Jarell Quansah has been told that 'the sky's the limit' for what he could go on to achieve in his career after starring on loan for Bristol Rovers.
That's the view of Gas manager Joey Barton, who says he is 'so pleased' that the Reds have allowed their academy prospect to remain with the League One club until the end of the season.
Quansah has made four league appearances for Rovers since joining on loan in January after spending the first half of the season in Liverpool's U21 side. And on Tuesday evening he put in an impressive display at centre-back that helped secure a goalless draw against promotion-chasing Ipswich Town at The Memorial Stadium.

Speaking about the 20-year-old after the match, Barton told Bristol LIVE: “I’m mindful of not heaping too much on the kids but, why not? He’s as good on the ball that you’ll need to be in terms of building out from the back. He’s going to get bigger, he’s going to get stronger, he’s going to get faster. His anticipation of the game is going to be better because more senior games get you that.
“The one concern we had when we brought him in was his heading ability because we knew he could leap, he could score a goal at the back post, but he’s getting well-versed in the physical, aerial contact. But the heading he’s doing from a defensive standpoint is what any senior would be proud of. He has an enormous future in front of him.
“The sky’s the limit for him, he can be whatever he wants. Jurgen Klopp doesn’t feel the way he feels about you, training with the first team, unless you’re a good player. They’re the top end of our profession and I’m just so pleased that they trust us with that type of player because they feel so highly of him."
