Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold has been preparing for the new season with hardcore workouts.

The defender turned midfielder has been busy hiking up mountains and cycling at altitude.

Alexander-Arnold cut short his holiday after the international matches to ensure he is in great shape for next season.

Per The Times, Trent wants to ensure that he is a key figure for the Reds as they look to get back into the Champions League.

Manager Jurgen Klopp reinvented Alexander-Arnold last season, using him as a midfielder near the end of the campaign.

Unless there is a dramatic shift, he is likely to play in that position next season as well.
