Liverpool told to change transfer plan as they already have "England's best midfielder"

Former Liverpool striker Dean Saunders believes the Reds do not need wholesale midfield reinforcements because they already have "England's best midfielder" in the form of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

England international Alexander-Arnold has had an up-and-down season at right back, but the 24-year-old's fortunes have improved since Jurgen Klopp moved him into a hybrid midfield/defence role. This has been enough to win over Saunders, a former club record signing, to sing the homegrown star's praises.

Liverpool's midfield needs appear clear from the outside, with Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner out of contract in the summer. Milner is on the verge of a move to Brighton, but Saunders has played down the need for a big transfer push.
