​Fowler on Liverpool starlet: 'I can see a big future for him'

Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler believes Reds youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold has all the tools to become a "top player."

The 18-year old made his first team debut in an EFL Cup clash with Tottenham in October and went on to make 11 more appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Fowler sees a correlation with his own meteoric rise to stardom, and believes it is just a matter of time before his fellow Liverpudlian does the same.

"He has probably got every attribute to be a top player. His attitude, will and drive are what we want as Liverpool supporters. He has got that in abundance." Fowler told the club's website.

"I can see a big future for him. Regardless of whether you're a local lad or a young lad coming into the game, you want to do well first and foremost.

"Maybe the fact that he is young and a lot of people in the Kop and the crowd at Anfield see a little bit of themselves in him drives him on a little bit more. It certainly did with me. I was playing for what I think is the greatest team in the world. For a young local lad to be doing that was brilliant."
