The Liverpool right-back also reserved some high praise for former Chelsea star Eden Hazard. Asked to pick the player who caused him the most problems on the pitch, Alexander-Arnold said:
“Very skilful and quick. He didn’t really have many weaknesses to be honest. He’d mastered his game to perfection. By the time I came up against him, he was an all-round player exceptional in many aspects of the game. So really difficult to deal with. So, I’d say him [Eden Hazard].”
Trent Alexander-Arnold already has 8 assists for Liverpool in the Premier League this season
Alexander-Arnold has revolutionized the full-back position since his Liverpool debut. The England international is one of the Reds' best playmakers and has already contributed to eight assists in the Premier League.
Speaking on his podcast, Gary Neville showered high praise on the Liverpool full-back, comparing him to De Bruyne, David Beckham and Gerrard. Neville said:
“Alexander-Arnold is an absolute phenomenon when it comes to the quality of his passing, his delivery. It's something I've never seen before from a full-back. It's like De Bruyne, it's Beckham, it's Gerrard, and they're attacking players. He's playing at right-back, it's the highest accolade I could pay him.”
A skilled set-piece taker and blessed with wonderful passing range, Alexander-Arnold is integral to Jurgen Klopp's style of play and has eight assists this season. While there might be better defenders than him at the moment in the right-back position, there are not many in the world who are as gifted as him technically.
