Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been told by club legend John Aldridge that he could save millions on midfield recruitment by sticking with Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The England international, who came through as a right-back, has impressed in his new role, and Aldridge feels as though he could provide Liverpool with an in-house upgrade on Thiago Alcantara.
“Trent’s been a revelation in midfield,” he told the Liverpool ECHO. “I’d go as far as saying that’s his new position – and I never thought I’d say anything like that – his future is there. Liverpool have to go out and get a really good right-back. It’ll save so much money.
“For what he’s doing, his vision, he can do what Thiago does, he’s like a younger version of Thiago in some respects, but he’s quicker, more dynamic, he can defend better than Thiago.”
