Trent Alexander-Arnold has signed an improved contract with Liverpool that should keep him at the club until at least 2024, it has been confirmed.
News broke this morning that a new deal was in the pipeline, but it has already been completed, and both Trent and the boss are delighted.
Trent told LiverpoolFC.com: “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. As soon as they offered the contract, there was no hesitation whatsoever.”

Jurgen Klopp challenged Reds fans to come up with a song for him in the wake of the news – and he’s right when he says he fully deserves one.
Klopp: “Liverpool supporters love Trent as ‘one of their own’, although I have noticed he doesn’t have a song from the fans yet, so maybe that is something they can work on. Wow, does he deserve one." #LFC
