The exceptional right-back currently playing for Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold, is arguably the premier modern full-back in the league. At just 25 years old, this Englishman boasts impressive defensive statistics and has set a high standard for full backs worldwide.
Apart from being a great defender, he is also known for his amazing set-piece skills. Arguably, the best set-piece moment which got him the recognition was the quick corner that helped his team make a comeback against Barcelona in 2019. However, recently, the player has been cornered himself by a stalker and had to hire private security to dissolve the issue.
