Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has backed Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley to take over. As the starting XI should Trent Alexander-Arnold leave the club. Saying the Northern Irishman is ripe for the job.
Bradley impressed as he started in place of the injured ‘TAA’ in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg win over Spurs 4-0 yesterday. With one assist and a clean sheet. ทางเข้า UFABET
The uncertainty over Trent’s contract, which expires in June 2025, with Real Madrid waiting for a free transfer is likely to happen. So Carra is urging Arne Slot to push for Bradley as Alexander-Arnold’s successor rather than buying a new player.
“There’s probably only one person at Liverpool who doesn’t want to see Trent Alexander-Arnold sign a new deal – and that’s Conor Bradley.” he said after the Reds reached the Carabao Cup final 4-1 on aggregate.
“If Trent leaves, he’ll need to step into the starting right-back position.”
“I don’t think Liverpool should go after and buy a new right-back for a big fee,”
“What that kid did when given the chance was outstanding. If that’s the level of performance that he can produce. There are very few right-backs in the Premier League who can do better.”
The 21 -year- old has made 19 appearances this season, providing two assists. And if he continues to work together he will also earn a home grown quota on his own team.
