Despite being only 25 years old, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s exceptional abilities as a full-back have earned him a place among the best in football history, as demonstrated by a staggering statistic. In his eighth season with Liverpool’s first team, the vice-captain has adapted his game to Jurgen Klopp’s new system, resulting in some of his best performances yet. Together with Andy Robertson on the left, Alexander-Arnold has been instrumental in changing the perception of full-backs, with his influence extending beyond traditional defensive roles. In fact, he has surpassed the likes of Paolo Maldini, Ashley Cole, Javier Zanetti, and Cafu in terms of numbers produced at the other end of the pitch. According to French statisticians PopFoot, across Europe’s top five leagues in the 21st century, only Roberto Carlos has scored more goals and assists for club and country over a calendar year. Alexander-Arnold’s feat is all the more impressive as he is the only player to feature three times in the top 10. Despite being overlooked by Gareth Southgate for England, Alexander-Arnold’s outstanding contribution to Liverpool has been undeniable and has cemented his place as one of the greatest right-backs in modern football history.
