Trent Alexander-Arnold is an important player for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
Rio Ferdinand has stated on Twitter that Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is the best Under-21 player in the Premier League at the moment.
The Manchester United legend seems to rate the Liverpool full-back highly.
Ferdinand has also said that the 21-year-old right-back is like the legendary Cafu, and has raved about his attributes.
Ferdinand added on Instagram, as transcribed by Metro: “Trent Alexander, I saw him against Atletico Madrid at Anfield. If any kid right-back wants to watch a player in today’s modern game play right-back, get that 45-minute clip.
“The way he controlled the game from right-back, the last person I’ve seen do something like that is maybe Cafu.
“He played every pass in the book; outside of the boot, crossfield fade, sprayed it far and wide across the pitch, whipped it behind the defence. He done everything.
“Trent is an absolute mad footballer, I don’t care what anyone says, he plays for Liverpool and I don’t care, the kid can play.”

According to WhoScored, Alexander-Arnold has made 28 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Liverpool so far this season, scoring two goals and providing 12 assists in the process.
