One to watch: Liverpool’s 19-year-old defender Trent Alexander-Arnold

Now the comple🐠tely undisputed first-choice right-back at Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold will look to build on an outsꦿtanding debut season as a senior regular at Anfield.

Still just 19 years of age, t🌌he English defender almost seems like a veteran presence despite only becoming a regular starter after the turn of the year.

B😼ut that was before ❀Liverpool’s incredible Champions League knockout run.

It was before he was af🌱forded the chance to go the World Cup with England and make his senior competit💯ive debut.

Play Style

Alexander-Arnold seems so assured now, so comfortable with the expectations and responsibilities that come with playing for Liv🥃erpool.

It is embodied in his tenacity. His willingness to press🔴, harry, sprint back to cover in defensive transition, and charge ♈up the other end with the same vigour is contagious amongst his team-mates.

He is so perfect for Klopp.

His slight frame is a worry, but until he can fill out a little bit more he will continue to rely on his speed and flexib💞ility to win the ball in more creative ways than bullying attackers off the ball.

In possession, Alexander-Arnold isཧ extremely threa🍬tening.

A former ꦰmidfielder by trade, he has a devilishly good eye for a pass and managed to pull off some insane cross-fie🥂ld lofted passes last season.

Season Ahead

Klopp and Alexander-Arnold were both excited to be reunited at 💮Liverpool’s training camp in France last week.

“We want to be together, we enjoyed last season together and want to have a better one this time, so the earlier we can be together the better it is,” .

Bursting with confidence and anxiously waiting for the season to begin, expect the 19-year-old to again prove himself worthy of b💟eing Liverpool’s right-back for the future and the present.
