Trent Alexander-Arnold is England’s best right-back “by miles”, says Glen Johnson, with the Liverpool star considered to sit well above Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Chelsea’s Reece James.
That trio form part of a young generation of talent emerging in the Premier League.
Alexander-Arnold is the most experienced and established, with over 100 appearances taken in for Liverpool at just 21 years of age.
He faces competition from the likes of Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker at international level, but has edged ahead of the Atletico Madrid and Manchester City men under Gareth Southgate.
Johnson expects that to remain the case, with the former Liverpool defender telling Express Sport when asked who the best option is: “Trent Alexander-Arnold. By miles at the moment.”
The Anfield academy graduate can expect to face fierce competition for his England berth at some stage in the future.

I’ve said and I quote “he’s best at attacking but defensively poor” got that.. he’s not better than Wan Bissaka when it comes to defending, nor is he better than walker at defending
so why is he starting ahead of bissaka why all managers and analysts says he is better than them to be true nobody ever said about bissaka [Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh] maybe walker not that bissaka
