Another Liverpool star agrees new long-term contract

 

Trent Alexander-Arnold has agreed terms on a new long term contract at Liverpool, the club confirmed on Saturday morning.

The news comes just days after Andrew Robertson also signed a new deal on Merseyside, with Alexander-Arnold following suit.

The England international is currently sidelined but has been the Reds’ first choice right-back this season, starting 16 of 17 Premier League appearances and a further five in the Champions League.

 

 

Speaking to the club’s official channel, the 20-year-old stated: “I’m ecstatic and really proud. I feel privileged to have the support and the trust the club has in me to offer me a new deal.

“There was no doubt in my mind to sign and extend the years I have with the club. Hopefully we can achieve a lot of success in those years.


“As soon as they offered the contract, there was no hesitation whatsoever. The thing that made it easiest for me was having the people around me to make sure I was able to focus on football as much as possible and get the deal done as soon as possible. That is down to my brother especially, my manager, who took that role and allowed me to focus on football and not get distracted, which is the main thing.


“The last 18 months especially have been very special. Hopefully the next 18 months and even further on than that will be even more special.”
