Lee Carsley names uncapped Liverpool star as ‘one of the best’ he’s worked with
England’s interim manager Lee Carsley has named uncapped Liverpool star Curtis Jones as one of the best players he has ever worked with.
For the November 14 and November 17 matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland, Jones has been called up to the England team.
Ahead of England’s upcoming two international matches, Carsley has praised the 23-year-old midfielder, who is looking to win his first cap for the Three Lions.
Carsley, who will lead England’s first team for the last time this month until Thomas Tuchel takes over in January, described Curtis as an all-around player.
‘[He] plays in various positions. He is a player I highly rate, he’s one of the best I’ve worked with in terms of ability.
‘He is showing consistency at a high level now. He can score goals, assist and is player we’ve had a lot of success with in the past.’
Jones has impressed under new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot and provided a goal and assist in the 2-1 win over Chelsea last month.
He also registered an assist in Liverpool’s last top-flight match, a 2-1 win over Brighton, which saw them to return to the top of the Premier League table.
Slot lauded Jones this week and admits that the Englishman has taken his game to the next level this term.
‘I am still learning on a daily basis about every player, Curtis is one,’ Slot said. ‘When I first came I played him as a six.
‘That wasn’t his best game, at this moment he can play in every position as in such a good place right now. He has really made step up.’
Jones, who came through Liverpool’s academy and made his debut in 2018, has played 145 matches for the Reds to date, producing 17 goals and 18 assists.
Premier League leaders Liverpool are back in action on Saturday with a home match against Aston Villa at Anfield.
