27-year-old must be sold: Three things we learned from Liverpool win v Hoffenheim
3. Trent Alexander-Arnold is the real deal
Some players need to be wrapped up in cotton wool and protected into their 20s.
It happens more and more in the modern game.
Other players seem mature beyond their years and are capable of stepping onto the biggest of stages at a tender age.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of them and in him Liverpool have one of the standout players of the future.
It’s easy to forget that he’s just 18-years-old when he’s playing for Liverpool in the Champions League. Or the Premier League.
Is he the complete package? Of course not, he’s got a way to improve – and that’s possibly the scariest thing about him as a player.
There’s no doubt that when he hits the peak of his powers and strength, Liverpool will have one of the best players in the English game playing for them.
