Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is unlikely to make England's Euros squad, according to Gabby Agbonlahor.

The 22-year-old, who has won the Premier League and Champions League, was dropped from Gareth Southgate's last squad following a below-par run of form as the Reds' title challenge ended prematurely.

Agbonlahor says the writing is on the wall for the Liverpool youngster, telling talkSPORT: "He hasn't been at his best, but he is still a great footballer.

“But it's a really tough one with England because you look at Reece James; he is very good going forward, he's decent defending.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is very good going forward, but not as good defensive-wise.

Kyle Walker is definitely going to be in the squad because he can play centre-half as well, Trippier is playing well at Atletico Madrid.

“So as much as Trent hasn't been in his best form, maybe it's just that Southgate fancies these other right-backs ahead of him and I think he doesn't make the squad, for me. I don't think he takes him.

“I would take him, but I don't think he [Gareth Southgate] takes him because Kyle Walker can play right-back and as a centre-half in a three."
