Trent Alexander-Arnold has been talking about his two new teammates Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, who have the qualities to transform his game.
The Premier League witnessed a new version of Trent Alexander-Arnold in April. With Jürgen Klopp in desperate search of consistent results and performances at Anfield, he instructed his players to make quite a significant change when in possession of the ball by adopting a new attacking shape.
Liverpool continued to use 4-3-3 on the defensive side of the game but with the ball under control, the Reds started to use a new-look 3-2-5 structure, with Alexander-Arnold expected to drift into the middle of the park to play alongside Fabinho. The tactical shift delivered a real upturn in form on Merseyside, with Liverpool going 10 games unbeaten at the end of the campaign
With the new season scheduled to start in around a month, many supporters are expecting to see the midfield version of Alexander-Arnold once again next term, and he could be set to evolve even further. So far this summer, Klopp has added Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai to his ranks for a combined fee of $123m (£95m/€112m), with both players set to boost his engine room.
Liverpool has been weak in midfield over the past year, but the club’s two latest signings should address that concern, with the duo possessing attacking intent, creativity and remarkable technical ability when playing in confined spaces. Alexander-Arnold knows exactly what to expect from his new teammates as he meets them for the first time this week.
