Alexander-Arnold is the heir to Steven Gerrard’s throne at Liverpool, proving to be the local hero with world class talent in his boots.
While he may never quite reach the level of his legendary hero, the 21-year-old can have a stellar career in his own right.
Whether or not he continues as a right-back remains to be seen – he used to play regularly as a central midfielder – but he is integral to Liverpool’s success under Jurgen Klopp.
He is surely a future Reds captain, and if he can avoid serious injury, anything is possible.
