'He's the closest Liverpool have to De Bruyne or Gerrard': Carragher urges Klopp to move Trent to midfield

Jamie Carragher has recommended Jurgen Klopp to move Trent Alexander-Arnold into midfield to bring the best out of him.

"I have no idea if Alexander-Arnold has ambitions to go back to where he started and play in midfield, Gareth Southgate tried it and was criticised in some quarters, including by Klopp.

"To me the move was understandable to try to get the most out of Alexander-Arnold in an England team with a completely different profile and mindset. In terms of his passing range, Alexander-Arnold is as good as anyone in Europe.

"And the closest Liverpool have to Kevin De Bruyne or Steven Gerrard. Given how desperate Liverpool are for a creative midfielder, would turning him into a No 8 so he can fill those areas to whip those extraordinary passes into the penalty area be such a radical move?

"With Stefan Bajčetić out for the season, would Klopp even consider it as an immediate measure? I am convinced Alexander-Arnold will return to midfield eventually, whether it is in his late twenties or early thirties.

"It does not matter how many medals a player has won, the best will always be looking at ways to get better."
