“It could be tough for him to take in the event that they had been to go and spend £50m on a right-back as a substitute of someplace between £20m and £30m.
“It’s a tricky second for them, however the one approach to get Alexander-Arnold to step it up a gear is that if he has that degree of competitors.”
He additionally famous in a separate Give Me Sport report that:
“Alexander-Arnold in all probability seems at different gamers like Reece James and the roles they’re allowed to occupy.
