Liverpool's young talent, Curtis Jones, has been receiving high praise from England's interim manager, Lee Carsley. The uncapped midfielder has been named as one of the best players that Carsley has ever worked with, and is now set to join the England squad for upcoming matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland.
At only 23 years old, Jones is eager to earn his first cap for the Three Lions and showcase his skills on the international stage. Carsley, who will be taking charge of England's first-team for the final time this month before Thomas Tuchel starts in January, has commended Jones for his all-round abilities and consistency at a high level.
"Curtis is an exceptional player," Carsley shared. "He has the ability to play in various positions and is someone I highly rate. He's one of the best I've ever worked with in terms of talent. We've had a lot of success with him in the past and I have no doubt he will continue to impress."
Jones has been in top form under Liverpool's new head coach, Arne Slot, and has already provided a goal and an assist in the Reds' recent 2-1 win over Chelsea. His performance in the Premier League has been consistent, with another assist in their last match against Brighton, which helped secure their spot at the top of the table.
Slot has also been singing Jones' praises, admitting that the young Englishman has elevated his game to a whole new level this season. "I am still learning about every player on a daily basis, and Curtis is one of them," Slot shared. "When I first came, I played him as a defensive midfielder, but that wasn't his best position. Now, he can play in any position and is in such a good place mentally. He has really stepped up."
Jones, who has been with Liverpool since joining their academy in 2018, has already made 145 appearances for the club, scoring 17 goals and providing 18 assists. With his impressive track record and consistent performances, it's no wonder that he has caught the attention of both his club and country's managers.
Liverpool, currently sitting at the top of the Premier League, will be looking to continue their winning streak with Jones in their starting lineup when they face Aston Villa at Anfield this Saturday. Fans will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on the young midfielder, eager to see him shine for both his club and country.
