Trent Alexander-Arnold feels he is now playing for his ‘legacy’ at Liverpool having won every top trophy available during his time with the Reds
Trent Alexander-Arnold feels he is now playing with the aim of “building a legacy” as a Liverpool player. The Reds’ vice-captain has won every major trophy at Anfield since breaking into the first team setup in 2016 under Jurgen Klopp and says, at the age of 26, he is already thinking about how his career will come to be viewed.
The defender, whose contract expires at the end of the season, says he is now thinking about his more general standing in the game in a chat with Men in Blazers.
“Of course winning more trophies [in the future] but I think on a personal level there’s a legacy, building a legacy,” Alexander-Arnold says.

“That is something that is important. Just being spoken about in the highest regard, especially after you have finished.
“So I think in 10 or 15 years, if I am spoken about as one of the best right-backs or the best right-back then that is what I am playing for now, I think. And using it as motivation.”
Alexander-Arnold added: “Do I feel things more as a Scouser? I don’t know because I’ve got nothing to compare it against if I am honest. So I don’t know if I feel it more than others, but I definitely feel it, of course.
“I have been a fan, I know the emotions of the game, the people around me are all fans and supporters, so of course I probably see it and am more open to it than a lot of other players are as I’ve got more connections and friends who love the club.
“So I feel it, but I am more open to it but whether I feel it more or less, I don’t know to be honest.”
