An exciting right-back is coming to Liverpool's first-team.
The right-back position is something the Reds have failed to figure out for a while. For close to a decade it was so easy for Liverpool.
In Trent Alexander-Arnold, they had the best right-back on the planet. No one else could compete with the way he played. He was so instrumental to Liverpool's success.
Alexander-Arnold made things happen with ease on the pitch. He controlled the creativity and the build-up of Jurgen Klopp's side. During his peak years he could unlock any defence and Liverpool were visibly worse when he was not playing.
However, he then decided to ruin it all by saying something like - I want to join Real Madrid. With that declaration it was all over. He left Anfield on a free transfer in what has been a terrible move for every party involved.
Could Trent come back to Liverpool?
The reality is that Liverpool still haven't replaced him. They've tried with Jeremie Frimpong but he simply isn't good enough. Dominik Szoboszlai doesn't want to play there and Ronald Araujo is solid but he is a temporary solution.
Meanwhile, things have not worked out for Alexander-Arnold either. He arrived at Real Madrid wanting to win trophies and personal accolades like the Ballon d'Or.
Instead he's found himself in a troubled Madrid side with Barcelona dominating and Alexander-Arnold mostly sitting on the bench.
He's had three managers now and none of them have made him their first-choice right-back. It doesn't make sense for Madrid to be paying him high wages and for him to be spending his prime years sitting on the bench.
But a return to Liverpool would have to hinge on a lot of things. A reasonable transfer fee, and probably reduced wages. Alexander-Arnold might not want to take that, and perhaps neither will Real Madrid.
Liverpool's new English right-back - Ollie O'Connor
With the injury to Jeremie Frimpong, the Reds are now without a recognised back-up right-back which means there's an opportunity for a youngster from the academy to join the first-team.
And that means Ollie O'Connor will now likely be heading to Andoni Iraola's team for the next few games until Frimpong is back fit.
Why?
Well, O'Connor is Liverpool's best right-back at U21 level. He's caught the eye in EFL Trophy games against senior opposition and he has all the characteristics you need to make it at a high level.
O'Connor is hard-working, he covers a lot of ground and he never gives up. The Englishman is someone who Andoni Iraola will enjoy working with.
