Liverpool player excels in central role against Malta‘I’ve got no questions in my head that he can do it’
Gareth Southgate intends to give Trent Alexander-Arnold more opportunities in central midfield after the Liverpool defender produced a passing masterclass during England’s 4-0 win over Malta on Friday night.
Alexander-Arnold has had a stop-start career at international level and concerns over his defensive instincts have stopped him from establishing himself at right-back under Southgate. But he has thrived since moving into a more advanced role for Liverpool and was the pick of the bunch as England maintained their excellent start to Euro 2024 qualifying.
