'I'd say' - Trent Alexander-Arnold makes Kaide Gordon Liverpool claim

Trent Alexander-Arnold is excited about the 'massive' potential of Harvey Elliott and Kaide Gordon.

The Reds' legendary right-back honed his craft in the Liverpool academy and since establishing himself in the first team he has progressed into one of the best full-backs in world football.

While reaching the same heights as Alexander-Arnold may be difficult for others coming through the club's youth system, it's evident that there are exciting players been developed by the club in-house.

Speaking to the Premier League's Uncut YouTube show , Alexander-Arnold was asked about the club's rising stars and which of them would go on to earn the highest rating on the EA Sports FIFA series in five years time.

"Who's in and around the first team now? I'd say Harvey," was Alexander-Arnold's first response.

"But if we're talking about someone who is academy based, then I'd say Kaide. Both have got massive, massive bags of potential. I'd say those two definitely."

At the start of the 2021-22 season, Elliott - who signed for Liverpool from Fulham in 2019 - was a regular fixture in the Liverpool squad and looked at ease in the Premier League despite being just 18 years of age.

However, he suffered a serious injury in the 3-0 win over Leeds United in September and has been undergoing rehabilitation since.

Gordon joined Liverpool from Derby County in February and earned his full debut for the club against Norwich City in the EFL Cup earlier this season.

The 17-year-old has been shining for the Reds at youth level too.
