It has been a good start to the season for Liverpool, winning four games out of five and drawing one.

Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold have seemed perfectly suited to their roles as captain and vice-captain respectively, and this is reflected by the seemingly good spirit around the squad.

It has now been reported by talkSPORT that Liverpool have opened new contract talks with Trent Alexander-Arnold.

In many ways, Trent Alexander-Arnold is the ideal academy success story

As a local boy, he joined Liverpool’s academy in 2004 and captained the team across the various youth levels.

The right-back has racked up 277 appearances for Liverpool since graduating from the club’s academy in 2016.
