Alexander-Arnold dubbed ‘a machine’ & Klopp’s biggest surprise at Liverpool

The Reds boss admits the progress made by a buccaneering full-back has impressed him, but the challenge is to keep everyone grounded at Anfield

Jurgen Klopp considers Trent Alexander-Arnold to be “a machine”, with the Liverpool boss admitting that the progress made by the 21-year-old full-back has been his biggest surprise at Anfield.

The highly-rated academy graduate was handed his senior bow by the Reds in October 2016 – a year after Klopp had succeeded Brendan Rodgers in the job.

Alexander-Arnold was eased into first-team life, but is now an established member of an ambitious Liverpool squad and improving England team.
