While Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk appear likely to be staying at Liverpool beyond the end of the season, Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to join Real Madrid.

"I think the creativity that he brings and the knack of drawing out defenders and midfielders to give Salah that space, we are seeing that now [while he is out injured]," former Reds winger Jermaine Pennant tells Liverpool.com.

I think there are right-backs out there who can give some of what Trent can offer going forward — pace and vision — but the passing ability, I don't think there is anyone out there."

Curtis Jones has been tried in the role in the last few weeks with Bradley out injured and Jarell Quansah offering much less on the ball.
