Argentine star will finally replace Trent Alexander-Arnold An Argentine star can replace Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool. The Reds have spent the last year searching for a true replacement for their former no. 66, and with every passing week, it has become increasingly obvious just how difficult he is to replace.
Very few players in world football can offer what Alexander-Arnold brought to Liverpool from right-back. His passing range, creativity, and ability to control games from deep areas made him one of the most unique players in Europe. Whether it was switching play, breaking defensive lines, or creating chances from nothing, Liverpool’s attack often revolved around his quality in possession.
Conor Bradley has shown real promise and was viewed by many as the natural long-term successor. However, his recurring injury problems have created doubts over whether he can be relied upon consistently across a full season. He still has an important role to play, but Liverpool need more certainty in such a crucial position.
Meanwhile, Jeremie Frimpong remains more of an attacking outlet than a defensively complete full-back. His qualities are clear going forward, but questions remain about whether he can provide the balance Liverpool need defensively. That is why this summer feels so important for sporting director Richard Hughes.
