Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy doesn't believe right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold can one day win the Ballon D'Or.

Legendary Brazil right-back Cafu made the claim that Alexander-Arnold has the potential to win the award. But Murphy disagrees.

"I think he (Cafu) could have praised him without talking about the Ballon d'Or," Murphy told talkSPORT.

"The Ballon d'Or is generally for the goalscorers and the superstars isn't it? But he is a wonderful, wonderful talent.

"He won't win the Ballon d'Or. I think even in a midfield position it's difficult. Can he score goals from midfield and bend in free-kicks and open defences with his passing? Yes.

"But will that ever be enough to be enough to win a Ballon d'Or? [Luka] Modric won one, didn't he? Yeah, it's possible, you never say never, but I don't think so.

"There's that much talent around at the moment, defensively you think a centre-half like Virgil van Dijk would probably be one of the few who has the capability. But he's on a different level because he's an out-and-out defender."
