This video of England training before their fixtures with Czech Republic and Bulgaria is littered with comments about Trent Alexander-Arnold, despite only being uploaded this Thursday lunchtime.
In it, you can see Trent battling with – and mostly getting the better of – Jadon Sancho.
Some of the comments about Liverpool’s right-back, include:
‘Trent is future England captain. Generational talent’
‘Trent’s insane. Best right-back on the planet and he just turned 21. Gonna do a madness next year with Sancho’
Gareth Southgate would be mad to start Kieran Trippier ahead of Trent, but there’s part of us that hopes he will do so at least once to save our superstar’s legs.
We’ve nobody who can offer us even close to what Trent does down the right-hand side, so an injury or burn out this season would be very damaging.
Last term he was unavailable in January and the likes of Jordan Henderson and James Milner failed to properly offer his creative output from the position.
