Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has revealed that Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold ranks highest amongst all the competitive people he has met in his life.

The Liverpool right-back is enjoying a fine season for the Reds and currently has two goals and 11 assists in 24 Premier League games. He leads the assists chart in the league, one more than teammate Mohamed Salah.

Ramsdale knows all about the right-back, having featured in the England national team with the 23-year-old.

The Gunners' goalkeeper has spoken of Alexander-Arnold's competitiveness in an interview on Tubes & Ange Golf Life YouTube channel.

The goalkeeper said (via HITC):

“(Alexander-Arnold's) so aggressive. He is the most competitive person I have ever met in my life. Fifa, two touch. I would take his technique any day of the week.”

The defender has shown his competitive streak on numerous occasions this season with the right-back being a key figure for Liverpool. He was instrumental in Liverpool lifting their sixth UEFA Champions League trophy in 2019 and their first-ever Premier League title in 2020.

He has been pivotal in the side's chase of Premier League leaders Manchester City this season as well. The Reds are six points behind City with a game in hand. He also scored in the penalty shootout in the Reds' Carabao Cup final win over Chelsea a week ago.

Jurgen Klopp's men stand a chance of winning as many as four major trophies this season, having won the Carabao Cup already.

They are hitting form at just the right moment, winning their last 12 matches across competitions and their squad is brimming with strength in numbers. Important players such as Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk are coming to the fore when required the most.

The top three goalscorers in the league this season comprise of Liverpool players - Salah (19), Sadio Mane (12) and Diogo Jota (12). Squad players are also putting in fine performances when needed.

The Merseysiders will need their squad to be at their best as they look to usurp Manchester City in the race for the Premier League.

They are also looking likely to advance to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. They have a 2-0 lead over Inter Milan from the first leg before their second leg clash on Tuesday (8 March).

The Reds are also in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup after beating Norwich City 2-1. They will clash against Championship side Nottingham Forest in the last eight of the competition.

Klopp has got the team fighting in all corners. The signing of Colombian winger Luis Diaz for £40 million (initial fee) in January could pay dividends with the attacker adapting to the league in quick fashion.

Klopp has worked his magic at Anfield since being appointed in October 2015. The club could potentially be on the cusp of having the most successful season in English football history.
