Trent Alexander-Arnold has won the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award for December 2019.

The Liverpool defender earns his first Premier League monthly award after producing a goal, three assists and three clean sheets in a flawless end to the year.

"It's a proud moment," Alexander-Arnold said. "We've had a good month as a team.

"There were many players that were up for it so it's an honour to be the one that won it."

He also helped the Reds lift the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time, but perhaps his best performance came at second-placed Leicester, against whom he scored once and set up two goals in a 4-0 victory.
