Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders believes Trent Alexander-Arnold can be 'England's Cafu'.

The right-back was a major reason for Liverpool's push for four trophies last season.

It is not the same story with England, but Lijnders believes Alexander-Arnold could be a big player for England at this year's World Cup.

"If you see the game in an attacking way, he gave that position such a creative boost over the last few years," said Lijnders. "Like Cafu did (for Brazil) in the past.

"You have to stay creative, stay unpredictable.

"Trent sees things that the stadium doesn't see. He sees things that I don't see. It is for us to put him in the right position to excel."
