Alexander-Arnold is arguably the most important player of the three. Especially when you consider their ages with the England man just getting into his prime.

Before the stunning 3-0 victory against Manchester United, Salah itted he isn’t thinking about his future. The Egyptian winger has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.
