Trent Alexander-Arnold is having quite the season at Liverpool as he attempts to make the transformation from academy player to first-team regular.

At just 19 years of age, the local boy will continue to develop and make improvements before becoming the finished article.

On Wednesday night, though, the right-back put in a man-of-the-match display against Manchester City.

Prior to kickoff, it seemed that out of anyone, Alexander-Arnold would be the possible weak link as he was tasked with marking Leroy Sane.

In the end, though, the teenager stepped up and completed his job in style as Liverpool earned a 3-0 win at Anfield in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash.

News has since emerged in The Times claiming that Alexander-Arnold was wanted by RB Leipzig in January.

The publication states that following Philippe Coutinho's departure to Barcelona, Liverpool tried to speed up Naby Keita's arrival from Leipzig, but the German club were only willing to do a deal if the Reds' young right-back was included.

The Anfield outfit reportedly refused to offload Alexander-Arnold, and so far it looks to have been the right decision judging by his midweek performance.

On Reddit, Liverpool fans have been discussing the rumours.
