Trent Alexander-Arnold makes future declaration and discusses 'deluded' claim



via echo


Trent Alexander-Arnold has declared he wants to become the first full-back to win the Ballon d'Or -


Trent also admits it would be "amazing" if Liverpool earn victory at Arsenal on Sunday.




Alexander-Arnold has been long established as one of the finest attacking right-backs in the world during a Reds career


The 26-year-old, who on Friday marked eight years since his Liverpool debut, is at present poised to leave Anfield on a free transfer at the end of the season


looking to the long-term, Alexander-Arnold has a clear aim over where he wants his career to end up.



Trent


"I believe I can win the Ballon d'Or," "I want to be the first full-back to ever do it.


"It's only the morning after you retire that you're able to look at yourself in the mirror and say you've given it everything you have got.


“It doesn't matter how many trophies you win or medals you have got, it matters about what you have given to the game and if you reach your full potential.


"I've heard potential being thrown around with my name since the age of six.


“If you reach that potential and you know you have and you've given everything to maximise that potential and be the player you believe you can be, which is one of the best ever, then you'll be happy




“It doesn't matter how many trophies you win, I guess.


"Do I have the potential to be that? For sure. I believe it. Some people may call me deluded but I believe I can."


While only Michael Owen has won the Ballon d'Or as a Liverpool player, a Real Madrid representative has won the award 12 times -


Trent added: "(I want to be) a legend of football, someone who changed the game. A saying I have is 'don't play the game, change the game'.


“I want that legacy of being probably the greatest right-back ever to play football, to be honest.


"I know there have been many out there but I have got to reach for the stars. That's where I believe my ceiling can go."
