Liverpool fullback Alexander-Arnold: Wolves winger Adama abilities not human!

Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold admits Wolves winger Adama Traore can be a handful.

Alexander-Arnold is one of the most prominent right-backs in world football but he acknowledged that playing against Traore, who is renowned for his speed, is a daunting task.

He told Goal: "It's almost not human the way he can change direction and go. I've never felt so powerless against someone.

"People are faster than you, that's inevitable, but you can get yourself in good positions, give yourself a head start and get yourself in the race. But with him, and with his power as well, there's nothing you can really do.

"I remember last season when he came on at Anfield. He's just turned and knocked it, and he was gone. I've never felt like that before! It has to be him, has to be."
