Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold recently revealed his plans under new manager Arne Slot, adding that he wanted to become the most feared defender in Europe. The 25-year-old has been one of the most important players under the Dutch manager this season.
Arne Slot labeled Alexander-Arnold as ‘outstanding’ after Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Bournemouth this weekend, leaving the club just a point behind league leaders Manchester City. The 25-year-old right-back, moreover, assisted Luis Diaz, taking his goal involvements tally to 100.

He also stressed the need for individual meetings and sessions, mentioning details about his meeting with Slot after their UCL outing against AC Milan.
