Trent Alexander-Arnold expressed his gratitude to everyone who helped him on his adventure after adding the PFA Player of the Year award to his Premier League winner’s medal.
Kevin De Bruyne, the first player in Manchester City history to win the jackpot when the winners were announced Tuesday night, and Liverpool right-back Alexander-Arnold took the other prestigious trophy.
The 21-year-old English defender has Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount of Chelsea, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood of Manchester United and Arsenal striker Bukayo Saka.
“This is one of the highs for me to date on a non-public note, probably the maximum Array,” Alexander-Arnold told Liverpool’s official website.
“Being one of the names I’ve noticed here, and being a part of it and being able to get such an amazing trophy, is an incredible honor for me and my family. It’s something we’ll be proud of.
“There are huge names, some of which have ever played in the Premier League, certainly many Premier League legends there. This is obviously all I need to check to achieve this. Being one of the names here is huge for me. . »
The fullback added: “These kinds of rewards, when you vote through other people who have opposed you and would possibly appreciate or respect what you do on the field, it’s amazing.
It’s a big thank you to everyone who voted for me and I deserve this trophy. It’s a big thank you to them.
“It’s huge for me to do and it’s something I’ll never forget. “
Alexander-Arnold says Liverpool’s good fortune over the past two seasons has given him even more “hunger” and willingness to climb into his trophy closet in the coming years.
“There’s so much hunger. There are sure mindsets that are instilled in you through behavior all the time, through the other people around you who make you think like that, the coach, the and the way the club is run,” he said. .
“There’s something else you can accomplish, you can never settle for what you’ve completed so far.
“For me, there’s still a lot to do and I know there’s still a lot to do. The sky is the limit.
“That’s what I have to aspire to. I just have to keep running hard and I can get more moments like this. “
De Bruyne said it was “strange” to be the first player in town to win the PFA Player of the Year award, given the wonderful players who preceded him in the Etihad.
“It’s an honor, ” said the Belgian.
“To be voted through your colleagues, your competence of the others we play against on the field is incredible.
“It’s probably that I’m first in City, with all the smart players who’ve played there before and continue to play, but it’s smart to set up the club. “
“I think it’s [the ultimate honor] because you’re competing with them [professional colleagues].
“They need to win trophies, they must be the best. Everyone votes, not a few players, which means you’ve done well this season. “
