Trent Alexander-Arnold is an 'absolute Scouser' that Jürgen Klopp feels blessed to work with on a daily basis.

Friday marked three years since the Academy graduate made his senior Liverpool debut when he played a League Cup tie at Anfield against Sunday's opponents Tottenham Hotspur.

Since that landmark, the No.66 is now edging towards a century of outings for his boyhood club, having won the Champions League and set a Guinness World Record in that time.

"He has a mix of personal education, football education, character, skills, attitude, mentality, and he is on top of all that," Klopp said of his full-back.

"He is an absolute Scouser in the best understanding. It's a big task and a big job to be a Scouser as a Liverpool player because you are responsible for pretty much everything. So he has all the good things.

"On the outside, when you are a Scouser in the Liverpool team it makes the game away at Manchester United even more difficult because everyone is talking to you the whole week about that and we will see the same again next year when we play them away.

"Apart from that, he is so impressive, so impressive. When I first saw him, I saw that this is something special but he had to work hard to make that really obvious.

"He is good, it's really a pleasure to work with him, to be honest. He is very aggressive in a positive way. It really is a pleasure to work with him, great."
