#2 Trent Alexander-Arnold (England, Liverpool)
The Englishman is a part of a formidable Liverpool back-line that has let in just 18 goals in the Premier League this season, the lowest in the division. The 20-year-old is one of the hottest properties in world football right now and is tipped to take up the role permanently for his country in the years to come.
Alexander-Arnold is blessed with scintillating speed and has flourished extremely well under the attacking tactics of Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. He is very good at his tackles and likes to press on the field. However, he comes into his own once he runs into the opposition third. It is from here that he uses his brilliant crossing ability to hurt the defences. He also has an eye for the final pass and it is not surprising that Alexander-Arnold has already set up 6 goals.
The Englishman has also scored once in 29 appearances and is the second-best right-back in the world this season.
