Alexander-Arnold’s England Dream
Trent Alexander-Arnold has confirmed his desire to play for England and win international titles.
Liverpool‘s dynamic full-back lost out on the latest Three Lions selection due to injury. But he hopes to be named in the EURO 2024 squad in the summer.
“When I was younger, I dreamt of being able to play for my country. Also to win trophies for my country. To be a part of England teams that win titles,” he said the Reds star.
“I’ve still got those ambitions. And every time I’m able to wear the shirt, words don’t really describe it.”
In an interview with AS, Veiga acknowledged his decision, acknowledging that it was motivated in part by financial considerations.
At 21, the former Celta Vigo player has a different profile than the majority of the senior gentlemen who joined the Saudi Pro League last summer.
“The truth is that I leave everything in the hands of my representatives. “I am completely confident in them,” he remarked.
“I was focused on concluding a great season, which eventually became complicated, without being aware of any rumours.
Perhaps there was a lot of curiosity at first, but as the lists progressed, another type of profile gained strength.
“But I can tell you that in August, I was faced with a scenario and made the decision I believed was correct.
I’m 100% certain it was the right one.”
