Alexander-Arnold cancelled out Erling Haaland’s opener late in the game to earn Liverpool a 1-1 draw with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
It was Alexander-Arnold’s first goal of the season but his attacking output has spiked playing in a more flexible role where he is given licence to move into a central area.
Carragher wants to see the England man get into more goalscoring positions so he can utilise his ability at scoring from range, a la his former team-mate Gerrard.
He suggests buying a new right-back could be the way to allow Alexander-Arnold to play in a more traditional midfield role.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “Liverpool haven’t got a back-up for Alexander-Arnold as it’s difficult to get quality to sign to sit on the substitutes bench.
“I would love Liverpool to acquire a right-back who could play in the big games and push Alexander-Arnold into midfield. That could be the development for Liverpool to play him in midfield.
“Liverpool haven’t had a player who can score from that range since Steven Gerrard, one that you think has got a chance from 20-25 yards.”
