Twelve months ago, with the frustration of a long, hard and ultimately underwhelming season burning inside him, Trent Alexander-Arnold picked up his phone and opened up the Twitter app. Accompanied by a picture of himself and Curtis Jones on the post-season Anfield lap of honour, following an unlikely third-place Premier League finish on the final day of a taxing campaign, Alexander-Arnold outlined his and his team-mates’ intent for the following year.
Trent Alexander Arnold tweeted: “Next year we’re coming back for trophies. Thank you for the support ’til the very end Reds. We always find a way.”
With a domestic cup double now also safely stashed into a burgeoning medal collection, the 23-year-old was certainly not kidding when he said he was “coming back for trophies”.
Trent Alexander Arnold said: “It feels special to be honest. Growing up you never think you will win all these trophies. You see legendary players who do that and you think it is unbelievable. To be able to say I have done that at such a young age is a dream come true and it is motivation to go on and carry on winning more trophies. Hopefully there are a lot more trophies to come. The motivation is to win them all again and keep winning and keep adding to the trophy cabinet.”
At just 23, Alexander-Arnold is already thinking about what his legacy within the game will be as he eyes his third Champions League final in Paris later this month against Real Madrid.
Trent Alexander Arnold adds: “Days like this help me. I think it comes from within and thinking about what I want my legacy to be and where I think my potential is as a player. The sky is the limit really so I want to carry on and push on and never be satisfied. I will keep my head down, try and win more trophies and hopefully at the end of my career I can be proud of what I have done. Five years ago if anyone had told me I would achieve what I have achieved I don’t know what I would have said to be honest,” he says. “It is very special and, hopefully, in five more years I am in an even better place than I am now. It has not gone too bad so far. Five or ten years’ time and we will hopefully be talking about bigger and better things.”
