The England Under-19 international is just enjoying his football at the minute but will look to gain more minutes next season.
“I don’t really set targets, I just try to enjoy it where I can because this is the first season I’ve really been with the first team," Alexander-Arnold told the club’s official website.
"I’m just enjoying every minute of it. I haven’t really set targets because I didn’t really expect it to happen at all!
“I think maybe next season I’ll set targets, but from now until the end of the season I’ll just try to enjoy my football, try to play as much as I can.
"Whether that’s first team or Under-23s or whoever, and I’ll give it my best whenever I do play.”
