Trent Alexander-Arnold reached 100 goal involvements for Liverpool during their 3-0 win over Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday, as he assisted Luis Díaz’s second goal of the afternoon to hit the milestone. It is a huge achievement for the 25-year-old as he became the youngest player to reach 100 goals and assists for the Reds since Steven Gerrard in August 2005 (25y 72d).
Big Achievement for the Youngster
It was his 316th competitive appearance for the Reds, and his 100-goal involvements have arrived via 19 goals and 81 assists. Considering he is deployed in a deeper position than most creative players, his assist total is highly impressive.
Here Is All Of TAA’S Goal Involvement according to Opta analyst
Since making his competitive debut for Liverpool on 25 October 2016 against Tottenham in the League Cup, Alexander-Arnold has provided 81 assists, the third highest by a Premier League player across all competitions, trailing only Kevin De Bruyne (146) and teammate Mohamed Salah (92).
The set-piece specialist recorded his first club assist of the season against AC Milan in the midweek Champions League opener, delivering a precise free-kick for Ibrahima Konaté. However, against Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth, he showcased his ability to influence games from open play. Bournemouth struggled to contain his surging runs into the spaces opened up by Liverpool’s movement.
Liverpool are however clueless about the superstar’s future. The Englishman earning £180,000 per week received back-to-back Player of the Match awards whilst on international duty with England, Trent has continued his sensational form by picking up assists against AC Milan and Bournemouth.
The 25-year-old also now sits third in the list of players with the most Premier League assists for Liverpool, moving above Steve McManaman. Trent seems to be enjoying life under Slot and, despite what was perceived to be a falling-out between the pair earlier in the season, the defender is proving why he should be considered one of the best in the world.

Negotiations are expected to begin soon for a new contract, but the Reds might worry that Trent’s impressive form will attract even more interest.
Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are also both out of contract at the end of the season and supporters will want the trio’s futures secured as soon as possible.
