Trent Alexander-Arnold told he is superior to "best of his generation" David Beckham

Liverpool icon Trent Alexander-Arnold is a "better passer" and a "better crosser" than Manchester United legend David Beckham was in his prime, according to Joe Cole.

The former Chelsea playmaker regards Beckham as the "best of my generation" but admits Alexander-Arnold has left him speechless with his distribution ability. The 23-year-old is viewed by many as the best right-back around and leads the Premier League assist chart with 11 this season.

He returned from a thigh injury in time for Tuesday night's Champions League quarter-final clash at Benfica and picked up where he left off with a majestic display. Alexander-Arnold created Liverpool's second goal in their 3-1 first-leg victory with a pinpoint diagonal pass for Luis Diaz to knock down into Sadio Mane's path.
