Ex-Liverpool coach Beale: Alexander-Arnold future at right-back

Former Liverpool U23 coach Michael Beale believes Trent Alexander-Arnold's future is at right-back.

And he says Nathaniel Clyne should be looking over his shoulder this season.

Beale told the Liverpool Echo: "He's gone from strength to strength. Even this pre-season, I'm watching him and thinking Clyne has got his work cut out. Trent doesn't look like he wants to wait any more, he looks like he believes he's ready to challenge now!

"I think with the amount of games, he'll be a first team challenger who can play 15 plus games hopefully and be very exciting. If you can show in training, and maybe dislodge an England right-back, then it's very exciting."
