Amid speculation over his future, Alexander-Arnold issued something of a warning to Liverpool as he claimed that his desire to win trophies will become an important factor while deciding on his future. The 25-year-old, however, clarified that he does not want to exert any pressure on his boyhood club, where he has spent the last 20 years of his life.
WHAT TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD SAID
Speaking to reporters after Liverpool's win over Bournemouth on Saturday, the defender said: "The most important thing is trophies if I’m honest. I want to win trophies. I’m a player who is highly motivated by winning things and being elite. That’s probably the main factor of anything. If you have a personality that’s elite, who wants to win and will do anything to win then that’s what drives them."
He added: "Look, I have been at the club for 20 years now. I have signed four or five contract extensions and none of those have been played out in public. This one won’t be either. I want to be a Liverpool player this season (as a minimum) is what I will say."
