Brazil legend Cafu insists Trent Arnold is the ‘perfect player’ for Real Madri

Trent Alexander-Arnold is tipped to be a huge hit in Real Madrid-with the greatest back of all time.

The Liverpool star, who scored the winner in Leicester on Sunday, is generally expected to join the Spanish giants in the summer.

And Legend Cafu of Brazil has supported the 'incredible' Alexander-Arnold to have a big impact at the Bernabeu, while rubbing the idea that the international of England cannot defend.

“They said the same thing about me,” he admitted two -time World Cup winner Cafu and spoke during the Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid. “They said I didn't know how to defend. It's not true. It's just his kind of game.

'It depends on what the coach wants. If they want you to attack, you attack if they want you to be defensive, then you are defensive.

“He is an incredible player and it would be a huge signature for Madrid if it happened.”

Since his debut, Alexander-Arnold has made more than 250 performances for Liverpool nine years ago, as well as winning 33 English caps.

And Cafu believes that the experience of the 26-year-old will be invaluable for real, which compares the potential transfer with his own move to AC Milan at the backend of his career.

“At the age of 33 I went to AC Milan, and Trent will also have experience with Madrid,” added Laureus Academy's member.

“He will take the place of Dani Carvajal when it happens. He is the perfect age, the perfect player. '

Real's current boss Carlo Ancelotti may not be in the Bernabeu after the summer, with his future in great doubt after the exit of the club Champions League to Arsenal last week.

The Italian was associated with the Brazilian job, which has been emptied since Dorival Junior was fired after a 4-1 that was beaten by Argentina in the World Cup who qualified last month.

“They have great candidates and one of the big names is Ancelotti,” Cafu added.

'But I hope they can choose as quickly as possible. The five -fold world cup winners cannot stay in this situation as it is now.

'This lack of organization is very bad for Brazilian football. They just have to decide. '
