Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold has officially departed the club, leaving a significant void in the team's playmaking right-back role. The England international, who won numerous titles during his tenure at Anfield, could be joining Real Madrid. As Liverpool searches for a replacement, Conor Bradley, the current understudy, is seen as a possible candidate. However, his injury record and limited game time may force the Reds to explore other options.

Three potential candidates to fill Alexander-Arnold's shoes include Guela Doue from Strasbourg, Anton Gaaei from Ajax, and Martim Fernandes from Porto. Doue, a versatile defender, excels in one-against-one duels and long passes, while Gaaei boasts impressive crossing ability and is still improving defensively. Fernandes, the youngest of the three, has shown immense potential in his creative role at Porto, with a high expected assists (xA) per match figure at just 19 years old.
