Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of the best young players in the world.
Viv Anderson has raved about Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold to The Daily Star.
The former Manchester United and Arsenal defender – who won the European Cup twice with Nottingham Forest – has said that Alexander-Arnold is a “modern-day superstar”.
Anderson has added that the attacking prowess of the 21-year-old England international right-back is “incredible”.
Anderson told The Daily Star: “What Trent has achieved in that position – and also his Liverpool team-mate Andy Robertson on the other side – has glamourised being a full-back.
“He’s able to dominate the game from there. He’s a modern-day superstar – and rightly so. Alexander-Arnold’s attacking talent is incredible.
“In terms of assists, he’s up there with everybody. That tells you he’s playing in the opposition’s half most of the time – against teams with 11 men behind the ball.
“He’s fabulous going forward and, if you’re Klopp, you want him there, creating and putting crosses in. When he offers you that, you take his misdemeanors at the other end.’’
