Liverpool’s Next Steven Gerrard is Not Alexander-Arnold, Says Report
Steven Gerrard, one of Liverpool’s greatest players, is known for his transition from right-back to a legendary box-to-box midfielder. Now, Jurgen Klopp has been told that a player in his squad, Conor Bradley, has the potential to fill the same role. Trent Alexander-Arnold, while often touted for a move to midfield, has solidified his position as a pivotal right-back for Klopp’s team. However, Bradley has impressed in recent appearances and is seen as a player who could excel in midfield. He made his Premier League debut and provided an assist in a 4-0 win against Bournemouth. Bradley, a boyhood Liverpool supporter, has been with the club since 2019 and has already made 13 appearances for Northern Ireland. He played on loan at Bolton Wanderers last season and showcased his abilities as a right wing-back, contributing seven goals and six assists in 53 games. However, his former coach believes that Bradley’s future lies in the midfield, where he can utilize his ability to move from box to box and his skill in passing. Bradley has impressed with his technical skills, work rate, and attitude. Tony Cascarino, a former Republic of Ireland striker, also compared Bradley to Gerrard, highlighting his relentless energy and ability to cover every blade of grass. While there is competition in Liverpool’s midfield, Bradley’s versatility and potential stand out. If he continues to develop as a box-to-box midfielder, he could save Klopp a considerable amount of money and become an important player for the club.
