Jamie Carragher has tipped Trent Alexander-Arnold to win both the PFA Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year awards this season.
The 21-year-old has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, going from academy hopeful to one of the best right-backs in the world.
The quality that Alexander-Arnold possesses on the ball is outrageous, and given his tender years, he could go on to become an even more formidable player.
Alexander-Arnold’s class was on show on Wednesday night, as Liverpool crashed out of the Champions League at the hands of Atletico Madrid.
Despite the eventual 3-2 loss, the youngster was superb at Anfield, firing long-range passes, threading balls into dangerous positions and generally catching the eye throughout.
Someone who was hugely impressed with Alexander-Arnold was Reds legend Carragher, who claimed on Twitter that the defender should scoop two end-of-season prizes, such has been his brilliance this season:
Brilliant performance 💩 result! @trentaa98 outstanding again, PFA young player & player of the year 👀@ChampionsLeague do @LFC stop being European Champions tonight or on the 30th may 🤷♂️😏 #LIVATM

It is far from a ridiculous shout, and while the likes of Sadio Mane, Jordan Henderson or Kevin De Bruyne might be the front-runners for the main award, it would be a huge surprise if he didn’t take home the Young Player of the Year gong.
