Former England striker Darren Bent believes that Reece James of Chelsea is better than Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold.

James scored the second goal for Chelsea in a 2-0 win over Arsenal at the weekend in the Premier League.

The England international played as a right wing-back in manager Thomas Tuchel's three-at-the-back formation.

"I genuinely think that Reece James is pushing Trent [Alexander-Arnold] in terms of being the best right-back," Bent told talkSPORT.

"Every time I see Reece James play… I get it, Trent with his deliveries, there's no one better than him, but his deliveries are not far off him, by the way. And defensively he's better, Reece James is better.

On the goal James scored, Bent added: "That is a modern-day full-back.

"Look at Trent, look at him, Trippier used to do it."
