Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to take on a new role at Real Madrid following his transfer from Liverpool, ahead of the Club World Cup.

New Madrid boss Xabi Alonso has crafted a fresh tactical strategy upon his arrival in Spain.

Alexander-Arnold was unveiled as a Madrid player on Thursday and caused controversy by speaking in perfect Spanish, suggesting he's been planning on joining Madrid for some time.

Alonso aims to maximise the potential of forward Kylian Mbappe, who had an outstanding debut season in La Liga.

If Alexander-Arnold continues to play as right back, this could mean a shift for him.

As per The Independent, Alonso has been working on a 4-4-2 system that would pair Mbappe with Vinicius Junior upfront.

When Madrid has the ball, it might look more like a 3-4-2-1 formation, with a central midfielder falling back and the full-backs providing width.

Having started as a right-back and moved into central areas over the past few years - even playing as a traditional central midfielder - Alexander-Arnold may now find himself playing wider.

Xabi Alonso is the new Real Madrid boss.

I am very happy with it."

After making the move to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold could be set to take on a pivotal role.
