Trent Alexander-Arnold, representing both Liverpool and the England national team, has expressed his ambition to become the inaugural full-back to secure the Ballon d'Or and to be recognized as the "greatest right-back in football history."
Since its inception in 1956, no full-back has ever claimed the prestigious world player of the year accolade.
At 26 years of age, Alexander-Arnold stated that he would prefer to win the Ballon d'Or over the World Cup.
"I am confident in my abilities," Alexander-Arnold conveyed to Sky Sports. "I aspire to be the first full-back to achieve this honor."
