Liverpool star Fabinho is adamant that Virgil van Dijk deserved to win the 2019 Ballon d'Or ahead of Lionel Messi, and thinks that Trent Alexander-Arnold is on track to become "one of the best in the world".
"People always notice strikers more than defenders, but he should have won when you consider what he did individually and how he helped the team win the Champions League," Fabinho told Sport Bible.
"He's an amazing player, one of the best in the world."
Alexander-Arnold has also received widespread praise for his performances in a Liverpool shirt, with his creative ability in the final third setting him apart from his peers in the right-back position.
Comparisons have been made between the English starlet and Barcelona legend Dani Alves, who is regarded as the finest full-back of his generation - with 40 major honours to his name.
Fabinho doesn't think Alexander-Arnold can be mentioned in the same bracket as the Brazilian just yet, but feels he has all the attributes to reach the very top of the game in the coming years.
"If you talk about everything he has conquered and won, Dani Alves is one of the best players to have ever played the position," Fabinho added.
"He's still incredible at 36 years old, one of the stars of the Brazilian national team, playing the way he always has.
"As for Trent, his passing is amazing. He has everything to become one of the best in the world."
