Now, with a new season on the horizon, Reds Manager Arne Slot Allegedly, the player has identified who will step into the creative role that has been left by the English International.
Including his time in the academy, Alexander-Arnold spent 20 years LiverpoolLocating himself as one of the Premier League elite, the rightback. According to Whoscored” He is in fourth place in the competition for most great opportunities created since the 2020–21 seasonWith 89, a striking stat for a defender.
After spending more than € 300 million in the summer transfer window, Liverpool signed Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusena right back with a completely different profile than Alexander-Arnold, now on Real Madrid. But while Frimpong offers attacking width and pace, Slot seems to turn to a different kind of player to fill the creative gap that Trent has left behind.
Speaking after the 3-2 preseason of Liverpool on Athletic Bilbao on Monday, Slot excluded Florian Wirtz‘s performance: “I think there is always room for improvement in every department and in my opinion we have added a few extra weapons. Florian has a lot of creativity in the last third part and we have lost a lot of creativity from behind with Trent. “
Although Wirtz plays in a completely different part of the field, Slot corresponded to similarities in their play instincts. ‘Trent’s crossing and choosing runners was so special. Wirtz has this quality in a completely different position. He brings that creativity“He added.
