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.
