Jude Bellingham sends message to Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold
Trent Alexander-Arnold has constantly divided opinion for both club and country.
The Englishman’s quality on the ball is unquestionable. He is one of the best right-backs in the world while going forward, and he has produced a number of exceptional performances over the years.
However, Alexander-Arnold’s defending has raised questions on multiple occasions, and many argue he’s not good enough to start at right-back against the big teams for that reason.
Southgate, in England’s game against Bosnia on Monday night, deployed Alexander-Arnold in midfield, and the Liverpool man had a very good game.
He played most of the game there before moving back to his natural right-back position.
Alexander-Arnold also scored a wonderful goal to double England’s lead and make the game a lot more comfortable for the hosts.
After the game, the Englishman took to Instagram to celebrate the win. Jude Bellingham showed him some love.
“My boy,” he replied under Alexander-Arnold’s Instagram post.
Arne Slot has a key decision to make on Alexander-Arnold
Arne Slot is at the helm at Liverpool now, and he has plenty of things to consider. Alexander-Arnold will be very high on his thoughts.
Firstly, the Englishman will enter the final year of his contract this summer. He hasn’t yet penned a new deal and that isn’t ideal at all.
Secondly, Alexander-Arnold’s position has to be decided. He is naturally a right-back, but he has had his struggles there.
Now, following Conor Bradley’s emergence, Slot could decide to use Alexander-Arnold in midfield.
That, in our opinion, would bring the best out of him – Gary Lineker wants to see him in the middle of the park too.
