Thomas Tuchel has always shown faith in me, even when I didn't always believe

Quansah credits Tuchel's faith for his England breakthrough, praising the manager's trust in deploying him across multiple positions.

Jarell Quansah has established himself as a key player in Thomas Tuchel's England setup since earning his Three Lions debut in November 2025. The Bayer Leverkusen defender has earned nine senior caps, including three appearances at last summer's World Cup, where he was called upon to deputise at right-back following Reece James's injury.

In an exclusive interview with talkSPORT, Quansah highlighted Tuchel's role in his development, crediting the manager's continued trust for giving him the belief to perform in unfamiliar positions. "It's huge. He's always shown massive faith in me," Quansah said.

"Even when I may not believe, sometimes, in the positions I'm playing in what exactly I'm capable of. But he's definitely opened my eyes to what I am capable of and what I can provide for this team."

The 23-year-old has been in excellent form for Leverkusen since his £30million move in 2025 and has attracted interest from top clubs including Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, as well as Real Madrid. Liverpool inserted a £59.5m buy-back clause as part of the deal. Quansah emphasised his growth as a player, noting that playing multiple positions allows him to showcase more of his game beyond the centre-back role.
