Former Arsenal defender William Gallas has revealed that if given the chance to select a player from Liverpool to join his former club, he would choose Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Frenchman, who played for both Arsenal and Chelsea during his Premier League career, praised Alexander-Arnold’s unique skill set, suggesting that the right-back could bring a new dynamic to the Gunners.
Speaking in a recent interview, Gallas highlighted Alexander-Arnold’s offensive qualities, creativity, and ability to influence games from deep positions. “If I had to pick one Liverpool player for Arsenal, it would be Trent Alexander-Arnold,” Gallas said. “He’s an incredible talent with his vision, passing, and crossing ability. He could fit well into Arsenal’s style of play and offer something different in attack.”
Alexander-Arnold has long been admired for his attacking contributions from the right flank, regularly delivering assists and playing a key role in Liverpool’s buildup play. Gallas believes that under Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, the English full-back could flourish even further, offering versatility and creativity from wide areas.
While Alexander-Arnold has sometimes faced criticism for his defensive positioning, Gallas argued that his overall impact on the game outweighs those concerns. “He’s still young and can continue to improve defensively, but what he offers going forward is so valuable, especially in a team like Arsenal that loves to dominate possession,” Gallas added.
Though Alexander-Arnold remains an integral part of Liverpool’s squad, Gallas’ endorsement showcases the wide admiration the defender commands across football, with many viewing him as one of the most gifted players in his position.
