World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf labels Trent Alexander-Arnold a 'Championship-level' defender... and claims Jurgen Klopp's system at Liverpool is the ONLY one that works for the full back

World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf has claimed that Liverpool and England full back Trent Alexander-Arnold is only a 'Championship-level' defender.

Alexander-Arnold has emerged as one of English football's brightest young stars in recent years, winning every domestic trophy available with Liverpool since 2019.

The 23-year-old has become known for his assists from out wide, but his defensive qualities have been questioned by some pundits and fans. Leboeuf has now given his verdict on the right back, stating that Alexander-Arnold's defending is a major concern, and that this issue has only been covered up for so long due to the specific system that Jurgen Klopp plays at Liverpool.
