Trent Alexander-Arnold is the defender in Premier League history with the most assists.
The Liverpool star has a huge profile in the Premier League.

In the 2016/17 season, Trent Alexander-Arnold became a part of Liverpool's first-team squad, and since then, the 25-year-old English defender has developed into a significant figure for both Liverpool and the Premier League as a whole. Last weekend, Alexander-Arnold added another assist to his collection, making him the defender with the most assists in Premier League history.

Defenders with most assists in Premier League history: 
◉ Trent Alexander-Arnold (58)
◉ Andy Robertson (57) 
◉ Leighton Baines (53) 
◉ Antonio Valencia (46)
◉ Graeme Le Soux (44) 

Trent's career truly took off under Jürgen Klopp, and in the 2018/19 season, the beginning of his impressive streak of assists from season to season emerged. Alongside his colleague Andy Robertson, they have been Europe's most dangerous full-backs in terms of assists over the last 6 seasons, and the success continues for Alexander-Arnold as he matures as a player. Trent has only registered 4 assists in the Premier League this season; however, it's worth noting that he has struggled with injuries and has been given a role where he often ventures into the central part of the field to build up Liverpool's play.

Trent Alexander Arnold's all-time Premier League stats: 
◉ 219 games 
◉ 14 goals 
◉ 58 assists 

Trent has taken on more responsibility at Liverpool, and it's evident that he has become a more mature player. He has been given a greater role and is seemingly the team's playmaker, showcasing fantastic technique that allows him to find his teammates in ways not many others can. At only 25 years old, he has a long career ahead, and there are indications that he may be moved centrally in the future, drawing parallels to the career trajectory of a former Liverpool legend, namely Steven Gerrard.
