Liverpool ace Alexander-Arnold: I've got so much room for improvement

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold insists he can get much better as a player.

The right-back is already considered one of the best in the world in his position.

With assist numbers that rival attacking midfielders, Alexander-Arnold is a key creative outlet for his team.

"A lot more, I would say, a lot more," he replied to a question about possible improvements in his game during a press conference.

"For me, I still see it as early days, I don't class myself as a young player but in terms of career you're looking at 15- to 20-year careers these days, hopefully. So I feel like I am only in the early stages.

"So there's still a lot more, there's still so much room for improvement, I still see I've got so much more potential to give and do and achieve.

"I'm not really thinking about what I've done, I'm more thinking about what I can do, how I can get better, what more I can achieve and how I can consistently be winning things every season."

He added: "I feel like I'm playing good football at the minute, I've enjoyed this season so far.

"But I've always found myself enjoying the latter stages of the season more, I've always found myself having good form near the ends of the seasons because they're the big games, they're the ones that matter, they're the Champions League knockouts, you're getting later into the cups, you're getting into the late stages of the league.

"I'm looking to win trophies and help the team do that. So if that means playing as well as I can, which it will mean, then that's what needs to be done. I'm excited to see what happens between February and May, a lot will happen, we just hope we're on the happy end come May."
