Former Liverpool striker Dean Saunders believes Trent Alexander-Arnold is already England's best midfielder - insisting "he can do everything Declan Rice does".
Alexander-Arnold, 24, is a right-back by trade and has achieved significant success in that position after being named in UEFA's Team of the Year in 2019 and FIFA's FIFPro World11 in 2020. Yet the England international faced criticism last season, as Liverpool struggled.
Jurgen Klopp's side finished fifth in the Premier League, with Alexander-Arnold's defensive skills scrutinised. That has led Klopp to push the player into central midfield when Liverpool are in possession. He slots back into right-back when the Reds are defending.
