Liverpool made a promising start to the 2024/25 campaign under new manager Arne Slot, with the Merseyside club having secured four wins and one loss in their first five league matches, with Trent Alexander-Arnold playing a key role in their success. They have also made a strong start in the Champions League, defeating AC Milan 3-1 in their opening group stage match.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a vital part of Liverpool’s success in recent years, and his commitment to the club is evident in his words, with the Reds right-back expressing his desire to captain the Reds and win trophies during his career.
TAA, in an interview (via. Liverpool.com), said:
“I’ve always said that I want to captain the club. That’s a goal of mine, but whether that happens is out of my hands, to be honest. I’ve been at the club 20 years now; I’ve signed four or five contract extensions, and none of those have been played out in public. This one won’t be either.”
Contract uncertainty for Alexander-Arnold
Arnold’s desire to captain Liverpool is no surprise, given his leadership qualities on the pitch, complemented by the fact that he has ground up around the club. However, his contract situation may pose a challenge. With his current Liverpool contract set to expire in June 2025, Alexander-Arnold’s future at the club is uncertain.
His on-pitch performances continue to impress despite the stalemate off the pitch, as the English international already has 2 assists to his name in 6 matches across all competitions this season. This highlights his ability to read the game, make crucial tackles, and provide assists, which makes him a key asset going forward.
As the 2024/25 campaign progresses, Alexander-Arnold will be looking to build on his impressive start and help his side secure more wins.
