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.

"I have been a fan, I know the emotions of the game, the people around me are all fans and supporters, so of course I probably see it and am more open to it than a lot of other players are as I've got more connections and friends who love the club.
