Gary Lineker has taken to Twitter to praise Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold following his performance against Fulham.

The former Tottenham Hotspur and Everton striker was impressed with the passing range of 20-year-old right-back Alexander-Arnold during Liverpool’s 2-0 win against Fulham at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

The England international played well for the Reds against the Cottagers in the Premier League and had a pass accuracy of 73.2%, according to WhoScored.

The youngster also took four shots, played two key passes, won two headers, took 98 touches, and made two tackles, two interceptions and two clearances, according to WhoScored.

Alexander-Arnold has provided two assists in 10 Premier League appearances for Liverpool so far this season, according to WhoScored.com.

The youngster is progressing well and has established himself as a key figure in manager Jurgen Klopp’s team.

The 20-year-old still has a lot of learning to do, and there will be times when he fails to do well, but the signs are certainly positive for the England international in terms of his future growth.
