Kvicha Kvaratskhelia is a player who has been highly regarded across the footballing world for some time now with Liverpool even being linked with a move for the attacker in January.

Most don’t associate a high level of defending with Trent Alexander-Arnold but seemingly, Kvaratskhelia has experienced something that fans must have missed.

Because, while speaking to Rio Ferdinand on his Rio Meets Podcast, the attacker named Alexander-Arnold as his toughest opponent this term.

“Here in France there are good defenders, they are fast and are really difficult to play [against] but I think [Trent] Alexander-Arnold is a very good player,” he said.

“I cannot say many but during my time in Paris the hardest one was Trent.”

As much as it hurts fans to say, Alexander-Arnold will be missed around the Liverpool camp next season.

Granted, Jeremie Frimpong is making his way to Liverpool as his replacement, but it remains to be seen whether the Dutchman will have what it takes to live up to Alexander-Arnold’s standards.

On paper, Frimpong seems to be the better player on the attack but with how high the former Manchester City man plays up the pitch, you’d expect him to have a higher amount of goal contributions.

Only time will tell whether Liverpool’s move for Frimpong will pay off, but at the moment, it feels like a pretty decent trade, even if Alexander-Arnold is set to leave for nothing.
