God he really is an arrogant narcissistic Alexander Arsehole.

Not a clue about his own limitations.

Apparently very pally with Bellingham who wants to lure him to RM.

Liverpool and England's Trent Alexander-Arnold says he wants to be the first full-back to win the Ballon d'Or and be remembered as the "greatest right-back to have played football".
No full-back has won the world player of the year award, which was first presented in 1956.
Alexander-Arnold, 26, said he would chose winning a Ballon d'Or over lifting the World Cup with England.
"I believe I can," Alexander-Arnold, told Sky Sports, external. "I want to be the first full-back to ever do it.
"It's only the morning after you retire that you're able to look in the mirror and say, 'I gave it everything I got'.
"It doesn't matter how many trophies you win, or how many medals you've got. It matters what you give to the game and if you reach your full potential."
Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos, who played at left-back, was second in the 2002 Ballon d'Or, which was won by Brazil team-mate Ronaldo after their World Cup triumph that year.
England's Lucy Bronze, a right-back, came second to USA's Megan Rapinoe in the women's award in 2019.
Two full-backs have been nominated for the men's 2024 award - Spain and Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal and Spain and Bayer Leverkusen's Alejandro Grimaldo. The ceremony takes place on Monday.
Real Madrid are reported to be interested in signing Alexander-Arnold, who is out of contract at the end of this season.
He has won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup at Liverpool, his boyhood club, and made more than 300 appearances.
Former England manager Gareth Southgate occasionally played Alexander-Arnold in midfield, including during Euro 2024.
Asked how he wants to be remembered after he retires, Alexander-Arnold said: "A legend of football, someone who changed the game.
"That is the main thing that I have - 'don't play the game; change the game'. I want that legacy of being the greatest right-back to have played football.
"I have got to reach for the stars and that's where I believe my ceiling can go."

I always thought he had a big opinion of himself, but fucking hell!
 
"individual awards do matter but they come secondary. you don't start the season aiming to win the pfa player of the year, you aim to win the premier league and other trophies." kevin de bruyne.

"i don't play for individual awards ... maybe people would like me to be more marketable, but i understand football differently. i know how it works so i don't get frustrated. if one day someone wants to reward the work, that's welcome, but it doesn't bother me at all." rodri.

interesting that for liverpool players it's the individual accolades that 'mean more'.

maybe if collectively they had a less selfish attitude, they'd have won the league more than once in 34 years.
