Gary Lineker, while acknowledging Trent Alexander-Arnold’s world-class talent, believes that the Liverpool full-back could be an even better player if he were utilized in midfield instead of right-back.

Lineker expressed his opinion that playing in midfield would allow Alexander-Arnold to better utilize his incredible passing range, as he would have the flexibility to pass in both directions.

While some pundits and fans have criticized aspects of Alexander-Arnold’s defensive game, Lineker is a fan of the player and believes he has room for growth in a different position.

He noted that Alexander-Arnold began his career as a midfielder and has the potential to dominate in that role as a playmaker.

However, Lineker’s perspective raises a debate about whether to change a winning formula. Alexander-Arnold has excelled as a right-back for Liverpool, consistently providing assists in Jurgen Klopp’s system.

While he has the ability to thrive in midfield, some argue that if his current role is working effectively, there may be no need to alter it.
