Former Manchester United and England midfielder Paul Scholes believes it will be difficult for Trent Alexander-Arnold to leave Liverpool at the end of the season after winning the Premier League title.

The 26-year-old provided an assist as the Reds thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 on Sunday afternoon to claim a second league title triumph in five seasons.

But with the Reds defender out of contract at the end of June and heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, this season's Premier League success could be the last piece of silverware of his Anfield career.



And Scholes believes Sunday's Premier League title success will give Alexander-Arnold fresh food for thought when he weighs up whether to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

"It will be a difficult decision for him.

I don’t think so yet and I might be proven wrong, but when City won the league, you thought yeah, they’ll win it again.

"But with Liverpool, you’re just not quite sure and football is all about winning trophies.
