World Cup-winning captain Cafu has described Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold as "one of the best right-backs in the world" and says the Englishman's style of play reminds him of his own.
Alexander-Arnold, 23, has had another stellar season with the Reds as they remain in the hunt for four trophies.
Liverpool have won two domestic cups so far and are in contention to claim the Premier League and Champions League.
Cafu said Alexander-Arnold's progress since his debut has been "amazing".
The Liverpool academy product has been a mainstay during Jurgen Klopp's reign, playing more than 200 games since breaking into the first team in the 2016-17 season.
