Liverpool are planning to turn down any formal approaches for Curtis Jones this month despite interest form Tottenham and other Premier League rivals.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 24-year-old has established himself as a regular in Arne Slot<\/a>\u2018s side and is extremely unlikely to be allowed to leave mid-way through the season.<\/p>\n Jones<\/a> has made 28 appearances across all competitions, albeit only 17 of those have come from the start, and is regarded as an extremely valuable part of the squad.<\/p>\n Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown<\/a> told Football Insider<\/strong> that Slot has no plans to weaken his squad after what has been a miserable spell for him.<\/p>\n Following the arrival of Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid<\/a>, Spurs remain keen to strengthen their midfield with a more creative option, but will be made to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n Brown told Football Insider<\/strong> last month that Jones has become a crucial player for Slot<\/a> and has put some of his teammates to shame with his hard-working displays.<\/p>\n That comes after\u00a0Mohamed Salah hit out at Slot and Liverpool<\/a>\u00a0as he was left unhappy with the decision to drop him to the bench, despite his and the team\u2019s recent struggles.<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n \u201cIf Liverpool let Curtis Jones leave, they\u2019d be cutting their own throat,\u201d Brown told Football Insider.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s an important part of what the manager is doing there, every time he plays he impresses and he\u2019s the type of player who will give you 100 per cent every week.<\/p>\n \u201cLiverpool in their current predicament need more players like that, not to throw them away.<\/p>\n \u201cThey don\u2019t want to weaken their squad either because they will need everybody fit and available if they want to recover their form and league position.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t see a world in which they let him go, I think they\u2019d be extremely reluctant to do that, especially to a rival club like Tottenham.<\/p>\n \u201cHe works hard, he knows and loves the club, and he can play as well he\u2019s good with the ball at his feet. I think if any offer came in, Liverpool would turn it down.\u201d<\/p>\n Tottenham laying groundwork to agree summer signings<\/p>\n Despite looking likely to miss out on a deal for Jones, Tottenham are planning for a busy end to the transfer window with further additions planned.<\/p>\n Brown told Football Insider<\/strong> on 19 January that Thomas Frank hopes to strengthen his squad<\/a> with more than just Gallagher\u2019s arrival in his sights.<\/p>\n Injuries to the likes of\u00a0James Maddison<\/a>,\u00a0Dejan Kulusevski<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Mohammed Kudus<\/a>\u00a0have raised further concerns, and they could now be forced into the market.<\/p>\n Frank\u2019s position is under extreme pressure following Tottenham\u2019s 2-1 defeat to West Ham<\/a> last time out, but the board are sticking with him as things stand.<\/p>\n If they can add to and improve their squad in the window\u2019s closing stages, there is hope the new arrivals could contribute to a change in their fortunes.<\/p>\n For more Tottenham and exclusive news, follow us on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0or join our brand new\u00a0WhatsApp Channel<\/a>\u00a0for instant updates to be sent straight to your phone.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Credit: Imago) Thu 22 January 2026 17:03, UK Liverpool are planning to turn down any formal approaches for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713591,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,8929,393,4884,179,207439,1368,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-713590","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-curtis-jones","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-liverpool","13":"tag-mick-brown","14":"tag-tottenham","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115940131328695039","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=713590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713590\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=713590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=713590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=713590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Liverpool](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Curtis-Jones-1024x683.jpg\")
