Transfer Q&A: Who could fill Liverpool's right-back spot?
BBC Sport's football news reporter Nizaar Kinsella has been answering your questions on the transfer window.Michael, Hackney: There's lots of clamour from Liverpool fans to promote Conor Bradley to our first-choice right-back. However, I think a lot of them are saying so to simply tell Trent Alexander-Arnold that we won't miss him! Are there any right-backs out there that you think could be suitable to join Liverpool and provide healthy competition for the spot that Trent is leaving?Nizaar: As Sami Mokbel reported on Tuesday, I think Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong is the best option for Liverpool. He is maybe more gettable now manager Xabi Alonso seems destined for Real Madrid.One remarkably good option is Nottingham Forest's Ola Aina, who is available for free at the end of the season. For me, he has arguably been the best right-back in the league.Fulham's Kenny Tete is also available on a free transfer - but much will depend on whether Liverpool are ready to promote Bradley as their first-choice option.
