ROBBIE: KID CAN FOLLOW MY LEAD

ROBBIE FOWLER claims Trent Alexander-Arnold’s emergence reminds him of his own rapid rise at Anfield.

Alexander-Arnold (right) has established himself as a member of Liverpool’s senior squad since making his debut in October. The defender is still only 18 and Fowler feels he has tapped into the support from the fans as a local lad, like he did when he broke through in 1993.

“He has probably got every attribute to be a top player,” said Reds legend Fowler. “His attitude, will and drive are what we want as Liverpool supporters. He’s got all those in abundance. I can see a big future for him. “Maybe the fact that he is young and a lot of people in the Kop see a little bit of themselves in him, drives the lad on a little bit more. “It certainly did with me.”
