Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold: I want to be a role model

Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold has no problem embracing the responsibility of being a role model.

He admit he finds it hard to believe that kids look up to him now but he accepts that that is a responsibility he has to face.

"I want to be the person who, when a young player goes home, he tells his mum he wants to be like me," Alexander-Arnold told the Daily Mail. "I understand I am a role model for young players. I want to be a role model that motivates young players as I was once motivated by the likes of Gerrard and Jamie Carragher.

"I want to be the one who motivates them to work hard in school and training to develop themselves and push themselves every single day and know that anything is possible with enough hard work and dedication."
