Alexis Mac Allister has been named the Premier League’s Player of the Month for April.

Mac Allister becomes Liverpool’s second recipient of the award this season after Mohamed Salah was crowned its winner in both November and March.

The Argentine international enjoyed a starring role for Arne Slot’s side as they went on to clinch a record-equalling 20th league title at the end of last month.

Producing two goals and one assist, Mac Allister saw off competition from six of his top-flight peers to win the accolade for the first time in his career.

He said: “I think the secret [to thriving] is my teammates.

“I always say that without them this wouldn’t be possible.

“And to play with these kinds of players is always easier because you can make a mistake or something like that and they will be there to solve it.

“They are the main thing and I just always try to help in the way I can.

“We want [to kick on next season] now that we have won the Premier League.

We know that this team has the mentality to go and win more trophies.

“So, the Champions League will be our goal next season together with the Premier League that is always very special.

“We will go for it and hopefully we can get the trophy.”
