"We are very happy to be been able to sign Jarell Quansah, one of the most promising English central defenders," said Bayer 04 managing director sport Simon Rolfes. “He made a very impressive contribution to a Liverpool defence full of world-class players. Jarell will give our defence extra dynamism, tempo and strength in winning the ball and he will also be another, very important element of the Werkself of the future," said Rolfes.
Quansah, who will wear the number four jersey at Leverkusen, is full of enthusiasm for the Bundesliga and Bayer 04. "I was able to get a good impression of the team and the club when Liverpool played Leverkusen in the Champions League last season. A brilliant team – for the first hour they played like almost no other side at Anfield," declared the 22-year-old. “The ambitious targets here were clearly explained to me during the negotiations. It's a great role and challenge for me to be part of the current Leverkusen rebuild," said Quansah.
The 1.90 metre tall right footer was at the U21 Euros in Slovakia and he was in the England line-up for the 3-2 win after extra time in the final against Germany. Quansah was one of the most impressive defenders at the tournament, was a regular starter and absolutely key performer in his team and he also stood out with his ability to get up the pitch and create moves.
The date for the Bayer 04 Women's DFB Pokal Round of 16 tie has been set. As announced by the German Football Association (DFB) on Wednesday, the Leverkusen Women will play league rivals Hamburger SV on Sunday, 16 November at 15:00 CET.
