- Two Premier League titles
- One FA Cup
- One FIFA Club World Cup

This season, he has started 10 out of 23 Premier League games and four of seven Champions League matches, missing only two due to injury.
Tottenham’s Interest in Curtis Jones
There has been speculation that Tottenham could make a bid for Jones in the January transfer window. Reports suggest that they may initially offer around £30 million, but Liverpool is expected to demand a higher price.
