Brazil legend Cafu has previously reserved special praise for Alexander-Arnold, and now he’s done so again. Cafu has explained why he sees similarities from his own game to that of Alexander-Arnold.
"I have been following Alexander-Arnold and the campaign he has had at Liverpool,” Cafu told BBC Sport .
“His progress over the last few years has been amazing and for sure is one of the best right-backs in the world.
"He is young, strong and has developed hugely considering his age. He also has a lot of experience and I see a lot of similarities between him and myself.
"We both had a will and commitment to attack, to go forward and have the boldness to shoot and to put the crosses in. The diagonal movements he makes on the pitch are also similar to what I was making as a player."
