Trent Alexander-Arnold brought up his 100th goal involvement for Liverpool with an assist in the 3-0 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.

The 25-year-old is renowned for his attacking quality from right-back, creating vast opportunities for his Reds teammates previously under Jurgen Klopp and now with new manager Arne Slot.

Alexander-Arnold became the defender with the most assists in Premier League history earlier this year when a corner of his was headed in by Diogo Jota in a 3-1 victory over Burnley in February. That took him above teammate Andy Robertson in the assist charts, but Liverpool's most recent win has helped the England international achieve another impressive feat.

The Premier League and Champions League winner now has 100 goal involvements for Liverpool, having set up Luis Diaz's second goal on Saturday with a determined run to the edge of the box before the Colombian finished. He brought the milestone up in his 316th game for the Anfield side, with only Steven Gerrard (92) and Mohamed Salah (72) registering more assists in the Premier League for Liverpool.

Alongside his 81 assists, Alexander-Arnold also has 19 goals, with his best scoring seasons coming in 2019/20 and 2022/23 with four in each. However, he is yet to hit the back of the net this term, instead helping the Merseyside club win four of their opening five league games.

Alexander-Arnold was a scapegoat for criticism during England's run to the Euro 2024 final, having been deployed in central midfield by Gareth Southgate after impressing there under Klopp.

However, he has returned to a more regular right-back function at the start of 2024/25, conjuring up his trademark deliveries from out wide to dangerous effect.

He could be in action when Liverpool play next. They begin their defence of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night at Anfield when West Ham United make the journey up from London for their clash in the third round.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has praised Trent Alexander-Arnold's overall defensive ability but has revealed there is one particular thing he is working on with the right-back.

It comes after Alexander-Arnold had admitted telling Slot of his desire to become "the defender that no-one wants to come up against in Europe", during a chat about individual objectives.

The Liverpool boss was asked about those comments ahead of this week's Carabao Cup third round tie against West Ham United, suggesting it's a matter of focus and holding concentration.

"It's difficult for me to judge how it has been in the years before, but the only thing I know is that we are talking here about a player that won the Champions League and [Premier League] title," Slot said.

"Trent mentioned himself that winning the league is about defending, so it's clear to me that he has been a good defender all his life. But because he is so, so special with the ball, the main emphasis goes to him doing special things with the ball.

"I think with him it is not about if he is capable of doing things, it's more can his concentration rate constantly be in 100 per cent focus. So, this is what we talk about a lot, that he has to stay active in every situation of the game, even if the ball is further away from him.

"But it's not that we or I taught him to defend in the last three months: he's won the league and he's won the Champions League, so it's just getting him to understand all of what is necessary to play the best possible game. That’s what we talk about with all the individuals but also with him."

Alexander-Arnold explained that he wants Slot to be brutally honest and not sugarcoat anything about potential improvements to be made.

"We agreed that he will be harsh on me. If any time an attacker gets past me, he will call it out in meetings and individual meetings and say this cannot happen," the player revealed.

"We go through every game together and he highlights where he wants me to improve. Even in the Milan game, we had about 20 clips going through what I could have done better and the good parts as well. It is really refreshing to have a manager who will help and guide and teach me how to be better as a player. I am someone who wants to learn, someone who strives to be the best ever."
