Alexander-Arnold Unfazed by Transfer Speculation, Says Liverpool Boss Slot -

Liverpool vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold is not worried by the increasing talk about his future at the Premier League club and is only concerned with events on the pitch, according to the head coach Arne Slot.

26 year old England right back has been tipped to join Real Madrid next season with his current deal with Liverpool expiring this summer.

Alexander-Arnold last month threatened that he will not subject his contract status to public display.

Since making his senior debut for Liverpool in 2016, Alexander-Arnold, product of Anfield and Liverpool’s youth systems, and has captained the side at the various age categories, has gone on to win the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Club World Cup among others.

Full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, midfielder Jordan Henderson, center-back Virgil van Dijk, and winger Mohamed Salah are all out of contract at the end of the season.

I believe you do not take our players into account”. These players are used to hearing about how they are connected to all the top teams on a daily basis if they have or have not signed them,” Slot said before the Premier League home encounter against Chelsea on Sunday.

If you think they’re disturbed by this interest then you do not seem to appreciate how strong they are mentally. This is part of our job. This is part of this world we are living in. You just do what you have to do.

It could be hard for you if you are 17 or 18 year old I suppose.” But Trent has won the league has won the Champions League; Virgil and Mo the same one.

I don’t believe that is a issue for them to perform and that is what we are getting at the moment because they are playing well.

Liverpool the current Premier League champions with 18 points from seven games were dealt a blow with their first-team goalkeeper Alisson Becker set to be sidelined by a hamstring problem.

Slot said he had been informed that the 32-year-old Brazil international will be back before Christmas.

“But you never know. Again, one can never really say how this will go in the initial days of an injury; so, I can answer that in two or three weeks,” the Dutchman said.
