Gary Lineker has strongly defended Liverpool and England international right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold on Twitter.
The former Tottenham Hotspur and Everton striker does not think that Alexander-Arnold is a defensive liability.
The BBC Match of the Day pundit has responded to criticism over Alexander-Arnold’s defensive performances following a clip on Twitter in which Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp explains the £160,000-a-week (SalarySport)’s game.
Alexander-Arnold did not play for England over the international break, and there are doubts whether head coach Gareth Southgate will include him in his squad for the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.
Gary Lineker on Liverpool and England’s Trent Alexander-Arnold
World-class
In our opinion, Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is a world-class player who can only get better and develop his game further in the coming years.
After all, the England international right-back is only 23 now.
Alexander-Arnold has been a regular for the Liverpool first team for a number of years now, and there is no danger of him losing his place in the side anytime soon.
Yes, there are moments defensively when the right-back should be doing better, but his overall game is excellent, and we think that he is a world-class player.
