Bradley names Liverpool teammate as 'the best player in the WORLD at the moment'

Young starlet Conor Bradley described his Liverpool teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold as 'the best right back and arguably the best player in the world at the moment'.

Bradley spoke highly of Alexander-Arnold after Liverpool came from behind to beat Fulham 2-1 in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final clash on Wednesday evening.

Bradley - who excelled during the game after being called into the starting XI to replace injured Alexander-Arnold at right-back - was quick to praise his team-mate following the game.

He said: 'Trent's obviously the best right-back in the world at the moment, probably the best player in the world at the moment with the way he's playing.'

Bradley put in an impressive showing at right back on Wednesday night in the absence of the injured Alexander-Arnold, gaining high praise from his manager.
