Liverpool defender Alexander-Arnold: I've big dreams and ambitions

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold admits he now wants to take charge of his career.

The England international says he is eager to fulfil his ambitions now that he's reached his mid-20s.

He told Channel 4: "The end of last season, the summer camp with England, that was the foundation to go and build on what I've built from.

"There were 10 or 15 games that I laid a good foundation for. And then for me it was about demanding more from me.

"I've got high dreams and ambitions, and although I've achieved a lot of them, there's still so much more that I want to achieve. And it's about going and doing that.

"I've realised, for me, I'm not a young player anymore. [I'm] getting into hopefully the peak years of my career and how can I get the best out of that? And I'm the one that's responsible for it, I'm the one that can make that happen.

"I've always felt like I've been in control of what I can go and achieve as a player, I just needed the opportunities to go and do that."
