‘Playing really well’…Declan Rice says he’s been very impressed by 22-year-old Liverpool player this season
Liverpool are absolutely flying this season and there’s so many players playing well it’s hard to single anyone out really.

The likes of Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk are back to something like their best. Then beyond that, the Reds have the likes of Darwin Nunez and Trent Alexander-Arnold impressing, while youngsters like Jarrell Quansah and Conor Bradley are flying as well.
However, one player perhaps going under the radar a bit is midfielder, Curtis Jones.

The 22-year-old has had an increasing influence on this Liverpool team this season and there’s been talk he might be included in the next England squad ahead of the Euros.
And speaking about Jones and a few others in the Premier League right now, Arsenal star Declan Rice name-checked the Reds ace when asked about in-form English players.

“A lot of players are obviously playing really well. So many players in the Premier League:Jarrod Bowen at West Ham, Ross Barkley at Luton, Cole Palmer [Chelsea], Curtis Jones[Liverpool], so many players playing well,” Rice told ESPN.

Curtis Jones is good enough for England if he stays fit
We all know inside Anfield that Curtis Jones is more than good enough to make his mark in this current England squad.
The ability is there, it’s just a case of keeping injury free, finding consistency, and finding a position where Gareth Southgate can use him.

Of course, the competition at England is massive, especially in terms of players in those final third positions.

However, Jones can make a late charge for the squad this summer and his ability to play centrally might well weight things in his favour.

As Declan Rice says here, Jones is among so many good English players right now that Southgate is going to be left with some difficult choices.
