Arne Slot believes Trent Alexander Arnold’s goal celebration in Liverpool’s 5-0 thrashing of West Ham United ‘tells you enough’ as speculation about his future continues. The England international scored the Reds’ fourth goal with a deflected long-range effort to extend his boyhood club’s lead at the top of the table to eight points.
The defender, along with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, remains out of contract at the end of the season, with his future the subject of intense scrutiny and speculation as a result.
Over the weekend, reports in Spain claimed that he had decided that he wants to join Real Madrid next summer and has already informed Liverpool of his decision, with such a switch claimed to be ‘90% done.
“I’m really happy with Trent, just as happy as I am with Mo [Salah] and with Virgil. So for me, there’s no difference.
“For the outside world, maybe there’s a bit more things happening around Trent in the media than with the other two but I’m happy with all three of them at the moment.”
Meanwhile, Slot would also address the futures of the out-of-contract trio in his post-match press conference, as he pointed out he has no control over what they say and do off the pitch.
