Trent Alexander-Arnold determined not to define his career by silverware

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold does not want to define his career by silverware and admits he has considered the prospect of never winning another trophy.

The England international, who turned 26 on Monday, won the Champions League, Premier League and Club World Cup before his 22nd birthday and has added the FA and League Cups to his tally since then.

However, the summer departure of Jurgen Klopp from Anfield understandably led to a degree of uncertainty.

Arne Slot’s record-breaking start to the season has allayed immediate fears but, with Alexander-Arnold out of contract at the end of the summer, the links with Real Madrid refuse to go away.
