Carragher discusses “very promising” Hoever – could he alter Trent’s role?

Ki-Jana Hoever is a special talent who could end up helping shift Trent Alexander-Arnold into a midfield role.

The Dutchman made his Liverpool debut at the age of just 16 last season, in the FA Cup defeat away to Wolves.

He also played in last month’s 2-0 victory at MK Dons in the Carabao Cup, scoring the Reds’ second goal.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Jamie Carragher singled out Hoever for praise, also claiming his rise could end up seeing Alexander-Arnold used in midfield moving forward:

There’s talk Liverpool have a really promising, young, full-back coming through – (Ki-Jana) Hoever – he’s a young lad that plays right-back.

And I was just thinking about in the future it (playing Alexander-Arnold in midfield) could be something for Liverpool to look at.

But, in terms of his creativity, he’s still probably getting as many assists or is just behind De Bruyne.

In terms of Alexander-Arnold, changing his position feels needless for the time being, considering how much he is thriving at right-back.

The time may come when it is more logical to use him in midfield, but that may depend on Hoever’s progress.
