#3. Trent Alexander-Arnold
Trent Alexander-Arnold is considered by many to be the best right-back in the world.
Trending
The Englishman made his debut for Liverpool in 2016 and has changed the definition of what it takes to be a right-back in the Premier League today. Armed with a wand of a right foot, Alexander-Arnold's biggest strengths are his immaculate passing and his dead-ball abilities.
Alexander-Arnold finds himself third on the list of defenders with the most assists in the last decade, but the fact is that he was only 14 years old in 2012. He only made his debut in 2016 and has already racked up astronomical figures for assists.
He holds the record for most assists by a Premier League defender in a full season and only seems to be improving with each game. Still only 23 years old, Alexander-Arnold could end up setting unbreakable records if he keeps his pace up.
#2. Andy Robertson
Andy Robertson has emerged as one of Europe's best left-backs.
The Scot signed for Liverpool in 2017 and has established himself as one of the league's premier fullbacks. Lining up on the left flank, Robertson boasts the perfect cocktail of attacking and defending ability in his arsenal.
Robertson, along with teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold, have arguably been the vanguard of European football's shift towards attacking fullbacks. The pair are extremely lethal when given space and time, often registering at least one assist between them every game.
The 27-year-old has registered 48 assists since 2012. Robertson is a key part of Jurgen Klopp's setup and will be integral to defining the Reds' successes in the coming seasons.
#1. Jordi Alba
Jordi Alba is one of football's best-known left-backs.
The Spaniard joined Barcelona from Valencia in 2012 and has gone on to achieve great success with the Blaugrana. In the 10 years since, Alba has won four La Liga titles, four Copa del Rey titles and one UEFA Champions League.
Alba is one of the most experienced defenders in the Barcelona side and has over 400 club appearances to his name. Having won several trophies alongside club legends like Xavi, Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi, Alba will go down in history as a club legend himself.
With 55 assists to his name, Alba leads the charts for the most assists by any defender since 2012. He continues to be a regular in Xavi's setup at Barcelona, and has already made 19 league appearances this season.
