Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold is proud to have been named PFA Young Player of the Year.

Alexander-Arnold saw off competition from Chelsea duo Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount, Manchester United pair Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford, and Arsenal's Bukayo Saka to scoop the award.

He said, "It's] one of the biggest for me so far on a personal note, probably the biggest. Being a part of the names that I've seen on here, and to be a part of such an amazing trophy and be able to receive it, is an unbelievable honour for me and my family. It's something we'll always be proud of.

"It's massive. [There are] massive names, some of the best that have ever played in the Premier League, undoubtedly a lot of Premier League legends on there. So, that's obviously something I want to try to achieve. To be a part of the names that are on here is massive for me."

The youngster added: "These types of awards, when it's voted by people who have played against you and can maybe admire or respect the things you do on the pitch, is amazing. It's a big thanks to all those that voted for me and have decided I deserve this trophy. It's a big thanks to them. It's huge for me to achieve this and it's something I'll never forget."
