'One hell of a player' - Liverpool talent reminds ex-Chelsea star of Gerrard

That's the view of ex-Premier League star Tony Cascarino, who believes the Reds right-back could become one of the best in the business.

Bradley is a product of Liverpool's academy and made his first-team debut in 2021, the first of 47 appearances to date.

Despite Trent Alexander-Arnold being their go-to right-back, the 21-year-old has demonstrated his quality when deputising for him.

Alexander-Arnold's continuous links with a move to Real Madrid mean Bradley looks set to become Arne Slot's chosen man in the role.

And that won't be any bother for Liverpool according to former Chelsea striker Cascarino, who supports the Reds, and he pointed out the similarities with club icon Gerrard.

"He reminds me of Steven Gerrard. Skinny, long legs, aggressive, but plays as a full-back," he said on Weekend Sports Breakfast.

"I mean, Steven Gerrard played right-back for Liverpool as well, he has done that role.

"But he reminds me of that desire and hunger to get there, travels across the ground really quickly.

"Not got the same quality as Trent, a player that can be creative, but he's not far short, he's going to be one hell of a player."

Bradley has made 19 appearances for Liverpool this season although was absent over the festive period due to a hamstring injury.

Alexander-Arnold missed their midweek 4-0 Carabao Cup win over Tottenham with a similar issue and was replaced by the Northern Irishman.

Come the start of next season, Bradley is likely to be the only senior right-back on the books.

talkSPORT understands that Madrid are increasingly confident of signing Alexander-Arnold, whose contract expires in the summer.

Spanish sources claim the 26-year-old has verbally agreed to a move but hasn't yet communicated a decision on his future to Liverpool.

The Reds are aware there is a strong possibility he decides to move to Madrid upon the expiration of his contract.
