Trent Alexander-Arnold: England star 'feels natural' in new midfield role after Malta display
Gareth Southgate's England have a perfect record from three games in Euro 2024 qualifying
Southgate has rarely trusted Alexander-Arnold at full-back, preferring Reece James, Kyle Walker or Kieran Trippier in a position where England have strength and quality options. "I've got no questions in my head he can do it, it's just learning some nuances of the role. He's very keen to do it, he's enjoyed the project, we talked about it about four weeks ago on the phone and he's been excited by it. He's shown exactly what we think he can be capable of."
Whether Alexander-Arnold remains England's number 10 for the future is debatable. Jude Bellingham, on return from injury, will surely move straight back into that role, but Southgate has options now.Alexander-Arnold let fly from 25 yards in the first half to put England two ahead in Malta "You have to get a system around getting Trent into positions where he can affect the game - he'd be a joy to play with.
