“Jordan [Henderson] is very vocal, has very, very high standards on and off the pitch and he drives that constantly,” Quansah said.
“Then you’ve got Virgil [van Dijk], who again leads by example – a big presence in the changing room. Because of the type of player he is, you want to listen to him, you want to learn off him.
“I’m not going to be always the most vocal in the team. I might learn that skill but the way I’m trying to do it at the minute is how I set standards, how I train, how I keep my standards as high as I can really.”
He continued: “We had Joel Matip at Liverpool. I couldn’t believe how well he could step into midfield and keep the ball.
“It looks easy sometimes when you’re stepping in and you’re just going past players but knowing there’s three or four players either side of you and trying to make the right pass is so difficult.
“It’s definitely a skill I’ve not mastered, but seeing players like Joel do it and the way he did it with such success, I can only aspire to be that sort of player.”
