The Liverpool right-back has been listed in midfield in recent England squads and played there in June's EUR0 2024 qualifiers against North Macedonia and Malta.
An abundance of riches at the right back position at international level means Alexander-Arnold has only won 21 caps for England since making his debut in 2018.
Only two of those caps have come at major tournaments but with next summer's European championships coming up in Germany, the 25-year-old is eager to contribute in his new found position in Gareth Southgate's side.
Ahead of the reverse fixture against the Maltese at Wembley, Alexander-Arnold explained: “The Malta game was one I felt was a big opportunity for me. I knew I needed to perform.
“I had spoken to the manager and he explained to me there could be a potential opportunity in midfield, going forward for me. When I heard those words, it ignited something within me. There was a chance for me to take it and I think that’s what I did.
“I’ve played around 20 games for England. I’ve had some opportunities, I’ve had minutes. But now, I feel like there’s a real opportunity for me, especially in a role that I think will get the best out of me.”
“These are huge opportunities. There’s a chance for me to go and earn a starting spot at the Euros. That is where my head is at when I’m turning up to camp. Every game for me between now and the end of the season and any time I’m performing, it’s to earn a place to start in the Euros.”
