When he was a coach at Liverpool, Steven Gerrard claims he pleaded with Jurgen Klopp to keep Curtis Jones

Between 2017 and 2018, Gerrard gained experience as the head coach of Liverpool’s U18 team. He oversaw a young Jones during that time period as he was just beginning his senior training.

Stevie G recalled a conversation he had with Klopp about Jones when he was a teenager while talking to The Anfield Wrap about his encounter with the teenager.

However, I told Jurgen to “stay with this kid.” Keep him and stick by him despite what you may be thinking because he won’t let you down. He won’t let you down once you get him right and take care of a few minor issues you need to take care of. And he’s now, in my opinion, showing Jurgen that.

Jones backs up Gerrard.
