When speaking to reporters last night, England boss Gareth Southgate absolutely raved about Liverpool ace Trent Alexander-Arnold, suggesting that the youngster possesses fantastic technique, as quoted by the Express.

The 20-year-old was quite simply brilliant for Jurgen Klopp’s side this season, racking up an incredible 16 assists in 40 appearances in all competitions, and he is now widely considered to be one of the best attacking right-backs in the Premier League, if not Europe.

It is quite incredible to think that Alexander-Arnold has already played in two Champions League finals, given his age, and he is now undoubtedly the first choice right-back for both Liverpool and England.

And Southgate highlighted how the Liverpool youngster is heading in the right direction, whilst hailing his fantastic technique, as quoted by the Express:

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 19:Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold prepares to take a corner kick

“Well, he was very good in terms of his use of the ball and his technique for his crossing is fantastic. But there’s still a bit to do defensively on positioning and awareness. That said, he’s had some fantastic experiences already in a very short career. He’s heading in a really good trajectory.”

If Alexander-Arnold continues to improve, and that in itself is an exciting prospect for Liverpool and England fans, he will surely go on to establish himself as a true great for both club and country.

And huge credit must go to Jurgen Klopp, for placing his faith in the 20-year-old, and providing him with a platform to showcase his ability on a regular basis.
