Trent Alexander-Arnold surprisingly gave his welcome speech entirely in Spanish as Real Madrid unveiled their new signing at the Estadio Bernabeu.

Alexander-Arnold will wear the number 12 shirt - forced to ditch his famed 66 due to LaLiga rules - but has also changed the name that will appear on his back, opting for ‘Trent’ over his surname.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was sure to hail Alexander-Arnold’s arrival at the ceremony, who joins in time for the start of the Club World Cup next week.

“This is a very special day for Real Madrid fans worldwide,” Perez said.

A legend in the game at 26 years old, today we welcome him to our family, a player who wants to don the famous Real Madrid jersey.

“We’d like to thank you for joining our club we know it means a lot, you could have signed for any club worldwide but you wanted to commit your future to Real Madrid.

Our fans will never forget that gesture.”

Alexander-Arnold could make his debut in Real’s Club World Cup curtain raiser when they take on Saudi side Al-Hilal on Wednesday 18 June at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
