A major Premier League player is set to establish himself in a new position in the coming years.
Considered a reference in the panarama of right-backs since his emergence at the highest level, Trent Alexander-Arnold could reinvent himself in another role. The England international has even already started this change. Jürgen Klopp, his manager at Liverpool, has not hesitated to use this full-back in midfield for a little over a season.
Can this reconversion in the control room appeal to the main interested party? Asked about the possibility of taking on this role in the medium term, Trent Alexander-Arnold did not hide his enthusiasm. “ People realize that I am potentially more effective in the middle of the field. This may be the way forward for the future. But who knows? It’s not me who decides. I can only play the position that I am asked to play“, explained the one we nickname “TAA” at a press conference.
A necessary development to maintain tenure status?
With the presence of players like Kyle Walker (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle) or Reece James (Chelsea), Alexander-Arnold had been reduced in the hierarchy of the position at the level of his national team. An exceptional counter-attacker thanks to his quality of foot, the player trained at Liverpool has the faults of his qualities, with a defensive performance often singled out.
