The significance and impact of Trent Alexander-Arnold is such that Liverpool is considering the acquisition of a senior right-back for the first time in ten years this summer.

Liverpool last brought in a specialist right-back when signing Nathaniel Clyne from Southampton in the summer of 2015.

However, the rise of Alexander-Arnold under Jurgen Klopp's guidance meant there was no need to recruit another player for that position.

The signing of Calvin Ramsay, who was on the move in January after a loan ruthlessly cut short, from Aberdeen in the summer of 2022 was a forward-looking move, while James Milner and Joe Gomez have stepped in whenever Alexander-Arnold was out of action.

The emergence of Conor Bradley also suggests that Liverpool may not necessarily need to sign a first-team starter for the right-back position for the upcoming season and beyond.

Alan Shearer has weighed in on the conversation, suggesting that Denzel Dumfries from Champions League finalists Inter could be well-suited to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold.

As Liverpool prepares for the departure of a stalwart who boasts over 350 Premier League games, it's expected that the speculation about potential right-back recruits will ramp up as the summer transfer window approaches.

For now, however, Slot's public statements remain focused on his existing squad, particularly Conor Bradley, who's been tipped to show his worth and stay injury-free to realise his significant potential.

Conor Bradley has had an impressive season for Liverpool.

Slot remarked on Bradley's upcoming playtime stating, "I think you will not be surprised if I say everyone gets a programe over the summer, [but] Conor has such an intense playing style," indicating that Bradley will feature prominently when the Reds welcome Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.

"They all run a lot.

If Conor is going to be the regular starter next season, that could maybe help him as well
