Trent Alexander-Arnold is an important player in Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool team.
Gary Lineker has spoken highly of Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold on BBC Sport.
The former Everton and Tottenham Hotspur striker has said that he would have loved to play with the England international right-back.
Lineker has raved about the 20-year-old’s passing ability, and the former England international striker has predicted that the youngster will probably end up playing in midfield.
This is not the first time that Lineker has backed the Liverpool right-back to end up in midfield.
The former Leicester City striker made a similar prediction on Twitter back in January 2019.
Lineker told BBC Sport: “Alexander-Arnold is a full-back I would have loved to have played with. He has a bit of everything, he does not defend as well as Wan-Bissaka but going forward – which is crucial for a modern player – he is a special player.
“His passing range is as good as any midfield player and he will probably end up playing there. He can take set-pieces too, has good crossing and of all the footballers we have, he is the most exciting talent.”
Promising talent
Alexander-Arnold is one of the best young right-backs in Europe, and the 20-year-old can only get better in the coming years.
The England international has established himself as an important player for Liverpool and is playing regularly for manager Jurgen Klopp’s side.
The youngster has made 26 appearances in the Premier League and nine in the Champions League for Liverpool this season, according to WhoScored.
