Liverpool identify a surprise Trent Alexander-Arnold replacement

Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to leave Liverpool on a free transfer after his contract expires at the end of the season. He will be joining Real Madrid, who have been sure about signing him since March. The Reds have been searching for his replacement over the last few months, and it seems they have found one in the Premier League.

Liverpool have been left disappointed by the way Real Madrid tapped up the defender over the last year, and he is now virtually confirmed to move away from Anfield in the summer.

Conor Bradley is the right-back who is expected to replace Alexander-Arnold in the team, but Liverpool are also keen to bring in another player in the summer.

Liverpool have been tracking right-backs since it became clear that they would need to replace the Real Madrid-bound star, and it seems they have found a solution in the Premier League.

Can you name the players Liverpool signed these players from?

The Reds identify a Premier League star to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold

According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool have identified Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina as a player to replace Alexander-Arnold at Anfield.

The former Chelsea defender has been hugely impressive in a Forest team, who are in the race to qualify for the Champions League and have the third-best defensive record in the Premier League this season.

Aina would be a more defensive option than Alexander-Arnold and would be unlikely to offer as much as him in attack.

However, he would tighten the Liverpool defence and allow Mo Salah not to worry about his defensive duties and focus on being at his best in the final third.

The 27-year-old defender also has suitors at Chelsea, who want him back at Stamford Bridge, but Liverpool are the favourites to land him.
