Mohamed Salah might be stealing the spotlight, but he should count his blessings for having a creative wildcard like Trent Alexander-Arnold as a team-mate. That’s the view of Alan Shearer, who heaped praise on the Liverpool defender’s exceptional passing during their thrilling 6-3 victory over Tottenham on Sunday.
Although Alexander-Arnold officially registered just one assist during the match, he was pinging passes all over the pitch with incredible precision, prompting Shearer to describe him as a striker’s dream. “I watch him and think, how many goals will they score with [Alexander-Arnold] in the team,” the Newcastle legend said on The Rest Is Football podcast.
