Alexander-Arnold explains friendship with Liverpool teammate Szoboszlai

Trent Alexander-Arnold has quickly struck a friendship with Liverpool teammate Dominik Szoboszali.

The Hungarian has settled smoothly at Anfield since his summer arrival from RB Leipzig.

"[He's] similar to me, to be fair," Alexander-Arnold explained to Sky Sports. "I'd say off the pitch, away from football, very relaxed, laidback, downtime, chill. We take our minds away from football.

"Whereas when we're in a football environment around the training ground, in training, in games, we fight for every single thing and we want to bring the best out of the players we're with.

"I think that's why we get on so well – because we share the same ideas and the same kind of mentality towards the game. We give everything and we expect results and we're both really competitive."

He added: "I think any time there's new players coming in, it's always exciting – whether it's in the summer or in the winter.

"New players are always exciting for us, for them to come in.

"The lads have really bought in to what we're trying to achieve and have shown signs that they want to achieve the same things.

"We're all pushing together to achieve the biggest things that football can offer."
