Trent Alexander-Arnold wants to build legacy at Liverpool

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold wants to build a legacy as a top player for his club.

The 26-year-old wants to be remembered long after his playing days are over as one of the better right backs in the game.

Alexander-Arnold, whose expiring contract this summer is a cause for concern for his club, has won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup (twice).

The England international was asked, on the Men in Blazers podcast, what else he would like to accomplish and he said: “Of course winning more trophies, but on a personal level, building a legacy, that is something that is important.

“Being spoken about in the highest regard, especially after you have finished.

“In 10, 15 years, if I am spoken about as one of the best right-backs, or the best right-back, that is what I am playing for now and using it as motivation.”

Speculation continues about his future with Real Madrid continually being linked and in less than a fortnight he will be able to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with overseas clubs.

But with Liverpool top of the Premier League and the Champions League tables, and having captained the team in their Carabao Cup quarter-final win at Southampton on Wednesday in the absence of the rested Virgil van Dijk, there is still plenty to play for at Anfield.

Alexander-Arnold said: “I’ve been a fan, I know the emotions in the game. I’ve got people around me who are all fans so of course I probably see it and am more open to it than other players as I’ve got a lot more connections who love the club.

“But whether I feel it more or less I don’t know.”
