London, Nov 1 (AFP/APP): Trent Alexander-Arnold has delighted Liverpool fans with not only his performances but the fact he is a locally-born player said manager Jurgen Klopp on Friday.

The 21-year-old right-back is set to make his 100th appearance for the Premier League leaders against Aston Villa on Saturday. Klopp said Alexander-Arnold’s rise to stardom had been in part due to his determination to set himself ambitious goals.

Klopp, whose side lead Manchester City by six points going into this weekend’s matches, praised Alexander-Arnold’s attitude.

“I wish for him to stay healthy and fit, and then the future’s bright for him and for us,” said Klopp. “He’s a great role model. He’s relaxed about that but feels responsible as well. “It’s a pleasure to work with him.”
