Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has extended his stay at the Merseyside club. The 22-year-old right-back has signed a contract extension which will expire only in 2025.
Alexander-Arnold has been a key player for the Reds. He has played an instrumental role in many of their new title triumphs. However, he is currently returning to full fitness after a season overshadowed by a thigh injury.
The return of Virgil van Dijk has been a huge boost for Jurgen Klopp’s side as Liverpool look towards rectifying their major errors faced during the last season.
Trent Alexander-Arnold to make history at Liverpool !
Trent Alexander-Arnold joined the senior team from Liverpool’s youth academy in 2016. Since then, he has made 179 appearances scoring ten goals and bagging 44 assists so far.
He won a Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, a Premier League and a FIFA Club World Cup with the Reds. But his best career highlight could be the assist (corner taken quickly!) that led to the fourth goal in the 4-0 win over Barcelona.
Earlier, in the training camp in Austria, the youngster said,
“It’s the only club I’ve ever really known, so to be here for this amount of time and extending to be here for a longer amount of time is amazing for me and my family.”
After signing the contract, his main aim is to win more and more trophies.
“It’s no longer top four or doing well, Europe and things like that, getting to quarters and semis. We want to be in a title run coming into May, we want to be in the Champions League final, we want to be in the domestic cup finals.”
Alongside Van Dijk and new signing Ibrahima Konate, he could become even deadly in terms of penetrating the opponent defence. Liverpool travel to newly-promoted Norwich City for their opening match in the Premier League.
