Trent Alexander-Arnold has been one of the most talked about Liverpool players recently, especially his potential in covering both full-back and midfield positions.
Former Liverpool player Jason McAteer has been latest to discuss the 21-year-old in depth on behalf of FredNathan, with whether the England international should switch to the midfield under debate.
"There are many commentators and ex-pros who believe Trent Alexander-Arnold has a future in midfield for both Liverpool and England and I don't doubt that the youngster could star in the Anfield engine room," McAteer, who was speaking on behalf of FredNathan, explained.
"Yes, Trent could play in midfield – indeed he started off as a central midfielder when he came through the academy. But nowadays he is very much a wing-back and the system Liverpool employ is perfect for him. He's got quality when he puts balls into the box and he can get back and defend when required to do so.
"When you are a midfielder you need awareness both sides, in front and behind. You need a range of different attributes to play in that position and I just think he's set up to play on the right. There's a danger you would get less of a player if you played him in midfield.
"He's in the most perfect role to learn his craft, playing with and against some of the world's finest players in the best competition and in an elite team. If you can't improve in that setting you never will.
"He's learning from all these experiences. In time he'll add a bit more versatility – I think he could play on the left, for example, and the manager won't be frightened of playing him in midfield if he needs to. But I would want to see him mature into the best full-back in the world and that's surely going to happen."
