Trent Alexander-Arnold is reportedly close to agreeing a move to Real Madrid, in a move that would leave Liverpool requiring a new right back in the summer.

The vice-captain, who has been with his boyhood club since the age of six, is out of contract at the end of the season and Real Madrid appear to be his next move after 20 years at Liverpool.

Bradley is a more traditional right back and has impressed during his spells in the team when Alexander-Arnold has been injured.

It’s clear the 24-year-old Netherlands international has impressive numbers, but Alonso’s Leverkusen shape a lot of their structure around Frimpong, enabling him to play as a right winger for the Bundesliga side.

It’s unlikely that Arne Slot, who has only ever played with a back four at Liverpool, would change his system for Frimpong, but that is not to say the former Celtic defender could not adapt if Liverpool tried to sign him.

Should he play for Liverpool under Arne Slot, his position would likely be simplified, leaving him to focus on getting forward and over-lapping his winger.
