Alexander-Arnold gets ‘best since Beckham’ billing from former Liverpool star

The Reds full-back is, in the eyes of Danny Murphy, the best crosser of a ball that English football has seen since a Manchester United legend

Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has earned a billing from Danny Murphy as English football’s best crosser of a ball since Manchester United legend David Beckham.

At just 20 years of age, the Anfield academy graduate has already made quite a name for himself on the senior stage.

His meteoric rise to prominence has seen the buccaneering defender become a mainstay in Jurgen Klopp’s plans and a regular part of Gareth Southgate’s England set-up.
