Liverpool manager ​Klopp not interested in Alexander-Arnold debate

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is not interested in getting into a debate about the quality of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The German manager was asked if there is any full back in the world better than his 21 year old starlet.

Alexander-Arnold put in another fantastic all round display to help the Reds to a 4-0 win over Leicester City in the Premier League on Boxing Day.

Asked if he was the best full back in the world, Klopp told reporters: "I am not too interested, to be honest.

"We are not looking for one, let me say it like this. We try to create our own guys in the shadows a little bit of these boys.

"Neco Williams, for example, who looks pretty promising. He played a really good game, but not a perfect game. It was not perfect but it was really good and it was decisive and helped us a lot.

"We know how important these crosses are for us, how important these things are for us, so that's absolutely exceptional.

"But I can't compare because at the moment I watch pretty much only Liverpool games so I don't see the others."
