“I feel privileged to have the support and the trust the club has in me to offer me a new deal.
“There was no doubt in my mind to sign and extend the years I have with the club. Hopefully we can achieve a lot of success in those years.
“As soon as they offered the contract, there was no hesitation whatsoever.
“The thing that made it easiest for me was having the people around me to make sure I was able to focus on football as much as possible and get the deal done as soon as possible.

“That is down to my brother especially, my manager, who took that role and allowed me to focus on football and not get distracted, which is the main thing.
“The last 18 months especially have been very special. Hopefully the next 18 months and even further on than that will be even more special.”
Alexander-Arnold is a doubt for Liverpool’s clash with Crystal Palace today (3pm) after suffering an injury before the match against Brighton last week.
But Jurgen Klopp has eased fears that it’s a serious problem.
"Gini [Wijnaldum] and Trent we will decide by day, it's not cool," said Klopp.

"The exceptional thing of that story is they both played 90 minutes [at Brighton].
“The whole world saw what happened to Trent. What a boy. Unbelievable to play that game, and afterwards we got the information that he had pain.
"Nothing happened to him during the game, it's just what happened before it. Adrenalin is obviously an interesting thing, it gives you an opportunity to do a bit more than you would expect.
"We will see. We will wait for both, for sure really close for Saturday, I don't want to close any doors before anybody tells me to close them."
