Thursday marks the second anniversary of the Academy graduate’s first-team debut for Liverpool, a 2-1 League Cup win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield that feels like an ‘I was there’-moment-in-waiting for those in attendance.
Since October 25, 2016, there have been 53 further senior appearances for the Reds.
There has been a Champions League final, a full international debut and the chance to represent England at the World Cup.
Alexander-Arnold has indeed come a long way.
On Wednesday, the 20-year-old Scouser hopes to register game No.55 for his boyhood club, when they take on Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League.
