Trent Alexander-Arnold instantly breaks Steven Gerrard Liverpool record that has stood since 2006
If there was any doubt about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s status as a Liverpool legend, his latest feat has put that to bed. With his start against Wolves at Anfield being his 250th in the Premier League, the right back broke a record held by his idol Steven Gerrard. It’s another record for Liverpool’s No.66Getty Reaching such a figure at the age of 26 years and 132 days is a new club record, as per Opta. Gerrard was previously the youngest, reaching a quarter of a century in December 2006 at the age of 26 years and 200 days. A local lad like Gerrard, Alexander-Arnold broke into the Liverpool first team in 2016 and has since become one of the Europe’s best playmakers, all from defence. Recording back-to-back campaigns with 14 assists from 2018 to 2020, he then reached a career high of 18 in the 2021/22 season. Overall in the Premier League he has 64, ranking him 19th in the league’s all-time list. Unlike Gerrard, Alexander-Arnold also achieved the Holy Grail of a Premier League title in 2020, making it a full sweep of winning every trophy on offer at Anfield. Yet despite all those achievements, and perhaps because of them, it appears that the vice captain could soon put an end to his heroics in England. A free agent on June 30, all signals are that Alexander-Arnold won’t re-sign, and will instead join Real Madrid for nothing. talkSPORT earlier reported that Los Blancos even made an early January approach for the player in order to ease their defensive crisis. But Arne Slot’s side rejected the talks out of hand, with a fee not even discussed, despite reports of a £20million offer. Alexander-Arnold boasts an incredible record at the age of 26 Liverpool are still hoping to persuade Alexander-Arnold to pen a new deal, but club executives are in for a busy few months. Arguably all three of their best players are out of contract this summer, with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk also impending free agents. Unlike Alexander-Arnold, both the Egyptian and Dutchman have addressed their situations on the record, but neither appear to be any closer to a new deal. The right-back played 64 minutes as Liverpool won 2-1 against Wolves at Anfield with Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah on target for the Reds.
