Joe Cole spots new Trent Alexander-Arnold sign that will help Liverpool

Joe Cole highlighted how Trent Alexander-Arnold looked 'happy' and 'comfortable' as he started in a midfield role for England on Friday night.

Trent scored the Three Lions' second goal of the night, smashing in a superb strike from around 25 yards

The Liverpool star was awarded Man of the Match in Malta and has been praised far and wide for his performance in the middle of the park.

Cole:

"I think the crucial word in that interview was comfortable, and he looked comfortable out there.

"When you have a system, there is no player barring Lionel Messi who has not got weaknesses in a position that brings out the best of those qualities he’s got. You get the best out of him, he is an outstanding passer of the ball, he can make things happen and he understands the space in midfield.

"Defensively, he was very good and got the ball back. He looked very comfortable and he looked happy and that is what you want, a happy, smiley Trent in an England shirt because you know you are going to get performances, you know you are going to get assists and goals."
