Jamie Carragher insists Liverpool have 'GOT to go and buy a right back' this summer because Trent Alexander-Arnold 'needs serious competition'… as Liverpool legend says 'we all know his defending is not good enough'

Trent Alexander-Arnold 'needs serious competition' at right-back if Liverpool are to consistently qualify for the Champions League, Reds legend Jamie Carragher claimed as he admitted 'we all know his defending is not good enough'.

The right-back's defensive frailties were on show once again during Real Madrid's 1-0 win at the Bernabeu, which led to the Spanish giants triumphing 6-2 on aggregate in the Champions League last-16 on Wednesday.

Alexander-Arnold, who has played an integral role in Jurgen Klopp's success at Anfield over the last few seasons thanks to his creativity, has been continually exposed in defence this campaign, contributing to what has been a poor campaign for Liverpool.
