Jurgen Klopp has a dressing room of world class players but Gary Lineker couldn’t help but praise the recent performance level of one man in particular.
Speaking on ‘The Rest Is Football’, the 63-year-old said about Trent Alexander-Arnold: “he’s the best passer, I mean his passing range is truly extraordinary, I mean it really is.
“I’ve been harping on about the fact that I think he’s a midfield player for about six years now, probably not quite that long, but I mean, he’s playing obviously at right back at the moment but drifting into midfield a lot and playing with so much freedom but God blimey his passing range, it’s remarkable.”
