Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold has opened up about his ambitions, revealing he's playing with the goal of "building a legacy".

The Reds' vice-captain, who has clinched every major trophy since joining the first team in 2016, is already contemplating his long-term reputation in football at just 26 years old.

In a candid discussion with Men in Blazers, the right-back, whose contract is up at the end of the season, expressed his desire to be remembered as one of the greats. "Of course winning more trophies [in the future] but I think on a personal level there's a legacy, building a legacy," he said.

"So I think in 10 or 15 years, if I am spoken about as one of the best right-backs or the best right-back then that is what I am playing for now, I think. And using it as motivation."
