'He probably saves Liverpool £100m' - Jurgen Klopp told to make Trent Alexander-Arnold's midfield move permanent

  • Carragher's advice for Klopp
  • Wants right-back to play in midfield
  • Liverpool can save £100m with switch

WHAT HAPPENED? The English international defender has been impressive in a new hybrid right-back and midfield role in recent times, and Carragher believes that playing him centrally suits the player. He also opined that Klopp should consider shifting Alexander-Arnold permanently to the new position instead of spending millions on new midfielders in the summer.

WHAT THEY SAID: Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher said, "If Trent plays midfield, he probably saves Liverpool £100m. One thing we haven't seen a lot from Trent Alexander-Arnold during his career is goals from outside the box. But if he keeps playing in midfield, he will get 5-10 goals a season. We've seen it from set pieces."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Liverpool will be looking for at least one midfielder in the summer transfer window with Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister being closely linked with a move to the club. They have reportedly made the Argentine midfielder their prime target in the upcoming window after pulling out of the race to sign Jude Bellingham.
