Ronald Araujo has set his sights on winning trophies at Liverpool, as the loanee shows his desire to keep driving forward after a positive start to the campaign so far.
The defender joined from Barcelona in the summer for the campaign, initially viewed by many as a cover option, but he has since cemented his place as a regular starter at right-back for Andoni Iraola.
The supporters have grown to love what the Uruguayan international represents when he is on the pitch, not only bringing defensive stability to the flank, but also a clear determination to make every action count for the greater good of the team being able to win.
That has already led to many calls from the Liverpool fans for a permanent deal to be sealed, with the loan including a buy option valued at roughly $61 million.

A decision on a permanent transfer is unlikely to be made in the January transfer window, with a call more likely to be made by all parties at the end of the season, when future plans can be decided by both the club and the player.
Until then, it seems as though Araujo will be giving absolutely everything he has to ensure that Liverpool has a successful season, with the star making it clear that he has no intention of relaxing on the performances he has managed to put in so far.
Speaking to the official Liverpool website, he said about the season so far: "It's been lovely but I also came here prepared for this challenge. From the first moment the possibility was there for me to come to this huge club, I prepared myself to come here in the best of conditions so I could adapt to this club, to a new league with a completely different style.
"But I worked a great deal for this. Even during my first few weeks at the club, we worked really hard to be up to speed. I'm grateful at the moment but I know there's still a lot more to come. Personally, I can't just stay in this moment – you need to keep working.

"That's one of my personality traits – to keep working, to keep giving my best, to continue to learn. I think I still have a lot to learn to continue to develop and there's a lot to come."
While that is certainly an ideal claim from the star, he has clearly set sights on making the season a memorable one with possible silverware on the cards.
"My hunger and ambition is to win trophies," he continued. "We have a great team and given the size of Liverpool as a club, it needs to be fighting for every trophy this season."
The Reds have already booked a place in the quarter-final of the EFL Cup, where a match against Iraola's old side Bournemouth hands an opportunity to secure a final-four place. That competition may give an early chance for silverware in the new year, which may get Liverpool up and running.

In the Premier League, a title challenge looks just out of reach with a nine-point gap to Arsenal at the top, but it isn't totally out of the question. As for the Champions League, a top-eight finish is on the cards, which would guarantee passage to the round of 16, giving the team the best chance possible of putting together another special run in Europe.
While it is still a work in progress at Anfield, that doesn't mean the ambition is seemingly any lower from those in and around the squad.
