Liverpool's young defender Conor Bradley shines in the League Cup semi-final victory against Tottenham, raising questions about his future at the club as Trent Alexander-Arnold's potential exit gains momentum.
Liverpool 's young defender Conor Bradley made a significant impact in their 4-0 League Cup semi-final victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, February 6th. His assist for Dominik Szoboszlai's goal, which extended Liverpool 's lead to 3-0, was a highlight of the performance. Cody Gakpo opened the scoring in the 34th minute, followed by Mohamed Salah's penalty in the 51st minute.
Szoboszlai's goal came after Bradley's clever pass sent him through one-on-one with Tottenham's goalkeeper, Kinsky. Virgil van Dijk completed the rout in the 80th minute. Despite the commanding win, former PGMOL chief and ex-FIFA official Keith Hackett raised concerns about a potential red card for Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk due to an incident with Tottenham's Richarlison earlier in the match. Bradley, primarily a right-back, has seen limited opportunities this season with Trent Alexander-Arnold ahead of him in the pecking order. He has started eight of his 19 appearances across all competitions, contributing two assists in 891 minutes of action.Alexander-Arnold, though injured, is expected to return for Liverpool's FA Cup fourth-round clash against Plymouth on Sunday, February 8th. Reports suggest that despite ongoing interest from Real Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has yet to make a decision regarding his future at the club. Bradley's impressive performance against Tottenham has intensified the debate among supporters about his potential as a long-term successor to Alexander-Arnold should he depart. Meanwhile, Liverpool reportedly aims to strengthen their squad further by targeting Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi
