Liverpool<\/a> youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> has signed a new long-term deal with the club that is expected to see him stay at Anfield until the summer of 2024. The 20-year-old has made 67 appearances for the Reds since his first-team debut in October 2016.<\/p>\n

Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> Signs New Liverpool Deal<\/h1>\n

Reward For Hard Work<\/h2>\n

It’s been quite the year for Alexander-Arnold who, since his last contract extension in July 2017, has seen himself become a regular in the starting eleven for Jurgen Klopp’s title-pushing side, as well as represent England at the Russia 2018 World Cup.<\/p>\n

Prior to that tournament, he was a key figure in Liverpool’s run to the Champions League final and subsequently played in the final where they lost to Real Madrid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following the Trend<\/h2>\n

Alexander-Arnold becomes the latest Liverpool player to commit himself to a new deal after it was announced yesterday that left-back<\/a> Andy Robertson had extended his stay to 2024 as well.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Joe Gomez<\/a> signed a new deal back in December<\/a> and other key players such as Mohamed Salah<\/a>, Roberto Firmino<\/a>, Jordan Henderson<\/a> and Sadio Mane<\/a> also agreed on new deals.<\/p>\n

Only one member of Liverpool’s current squad sees their contract finish at the end of the season<\/a>. Alberto Moreno<\/a> may be the only player to move on, either in this window or the next, as he is firmly behind Robertson in the pecking order at left-back, which could see some new competition come in for that position.<\/p>\n

Injury Crisis<\/h2>\n

The Reds are currently injury-hit in defence and Alexander-Arnold in part of that injury list. Fabinho filled in at centre-back in the win over Brighton<\/a> last weekend, the game in which Alexander-Arnold went off injured.<\/p>\n

It was feared that he could be out for up to four weeks but, after responding well to treatment<\/a>, Liverpool are hoping that he will be available for the visit of Leicester City<\/a> on January 30th.<\/p>\n
