5 English Players to Look Out for in the World Cup

#4 Trent Alexander-Arnold

Alexander-Arnold performed well against Real Madrid despite his club's loss

The Liverpool defender was the youngest player on the pitch during the UEFA Champions League final clash against Real Madrid. He made his first senior appearance for his club in 2016 when he was just 18 years old. Fast forward two years, Alexander-Arnold is becoming a regular player under Jurgen Klopp and he impressed on multiple occasions against European rivals in the Champions League.

In March 2018, he was invited to train with the senior England squad and it was followed by a call-up in May. His senior debut is likely to come in the World Cup this summer as it will be his first time representing the national team at a senior level. The 19-year-old youngster is set to be one of the rising stars who will light up the World Cup and many have high hopes of him.

This season, he had a tackle success of 66% and recovered the ball 142 times in 26 Premier League appearances. He surely is a teenager who receives far much more game time in the top league of England as compared to the rest of his peers. His experience from playing on a consistent basis will surely improve his ability to read the game and be mindful of his surroundings. It will also give him a great deal of confidence as he prepares together with the rest of his squadmates for their journey to Russia.
