According to anfield watch, liverpool is set to offer curtis jones a contract extension. The homegrown 22-year-old has been in good shape for the reds this season and has risen to become one of jurgen klopp’s most valuable midfielders when not available. Jones has shined in recent games, scoring twice in the 5-1 carabao cup quarterfinal victory over west ham and netting in the 4-2 premier league victory over newcastle on new year’s day. Since his debut in the 2018/19 season, the midfielder, who also played a vital role in england’s under-21 european championships last season, has already made over 100 first-team liverpool appearances. Although jones’ current contract will not expire until 2027, liverpool is prepared to offer a contract extension with improved terms, extending his stay at anfield until 2029, according to anfield watch. Jones, who joined the reds’ academy at the age of nine and has captained the first team on two occasions, is considered to be one of the lowest-paid senior players currently.
Arsenal was apparently looking at the liverpool no. 1 in recent reports, according to some. Anfield watch understands that this is far from the mark and that the reds are unaware of any significant interest. Jones’ ‘scouse mentality’ was praised by liverpool assistant manager pep lijnders earlier this season, while klopp heaped praise on the midfielder after his display against newcastle. To be fair, “a special game, a special game from curtis.” “his high press, his counter-press,” the manager said. We all know how good curtis is, he is a player who is incredibly gifted, but as he gets more direction in his dribbling, he gets better at handling situations. “and in the process of his pressing, counter-pressing, he sets the tone, actually, for how it should look.” “i’m really happy with it,” he says. It keeps every player in the game involved.”
