Former Arsenal full-back Lauren says Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold is the best in the world

Even with the questions over his defensive contributions, Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is among the best players in the world in his position.

Despite being just 24 years old, Alexander-Arnold has already established himself as one of the best right-backs in the world. Alongside his unmatched attacking prowess, his ability to whip in crosses and set-pieces makes him a constant threat to opposing defences.

However, it is his defensive capabilities that have stood into questioning at times. His tendency to push forward and leave space behind him has occasionally led to a few goals conceded.

But despite these criticisms, Alexander-Arnold has continued to improve his game. His defensive work rate has increased, and he has become more disciplined in his positioning, making him a more well-rounded player.

Former Arsenal right-back Lauren, who also won the league with the Gunners, agrees and here is what he told Sports Lens on who he believes is the best right-back via Liverpool Echo:

“But for me, it’s Trent Alexander-Arnold. He provides a lot tactically for Liverpool and is crucial to the way they want to bring the ball out from the back.”

“As well as providing all of the crosses, he can also come inside and dominate in the middle of the park with incisive passes to create an extra man in the middle.”

“Technically he is superb, he can score goals and people may well criticise his defending. You can’t be perfect at everything though! In my opinion, he is the best right-back in the world and the one I would want in my team.”

From Liverpool’s perspective, Alexander-Arnold’s contributions are clear to see. His incredible passing ability and vision make him a key component in the team’s build-up play, while his attacking prowess often creates scoring opportunities for his teammates.

As he continues to develop and refine his game, there is no doubt that Alexander-Arnold will continue to be a crucial player for Liverpool. His dedication, work ethic, and commitment to the team’s success make him a true asset to the club.

Despite his defensive shortcomings, Alexander-Arnold has already achieved a great deal in his career. He has won numerous individual awards, including the PFA Young Player of the Year and the UEFA Champions League Squad of the Season, as well as helping Liverpool win the Premier League and the Champions League.

From Liverpool’s perspective, Alexander-Arnold is an indispensable player. His attacking prowess, work rate, and versatility make him a crucial component of the team’s success. Klopp has praised Alexander-Arnold’s dedication and work ethic in the past and has highlighted the player’s willingness to learn and improve as a key factor in his success.
