Liverpool news: Leon Osman on Curtis Jones

"In form" Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones has "really matured", says former Everton player Leon Osman.

After overcoming an early season injury, Jones has begun to flourish under new Reds boss Arne Slot over recent games, scoring once and providing four assists in so far this season.

His form has catapulted the 23-year-old into the England squad and he will have the opportunity to win his first cap for the senior Three Lions team when they play Greece and Republic of Ireland in the Nations League.

"He has really matured," Osman told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily. "When he first burst on the scene a couple of seasons back, he was still a child by appearances, although he was showing the quality he had. But he has now become a man.

"He has become a lot more physical, he looks grown up [and] he is now showing the quality as well.

"The important thing is he is a player in form and we always say we want to see those players who are not only top quality but in form, being given the opportunity to get their caps and to represent the country.

"If you are talking about form players across the league, he has got to be right at the top of the conversation."
