Trent Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a shock return to Liverpool of late, and now journalist Pete O’Rourke has given the latest on the situation. The right-back exited his boyhood club for Real Madrid last year, in a decision that didn’t go down well with plenty of supporters, despite his goodbye message that said: “After 20 years at Liverpool Football Club, now is the time for me to confirm that I will be leaving at the end of the season.

I will forever be in debt to you all.” But Alexander-Arnold’s time at Madrid hasn’t been a success to date, with various managers finding it hard to pick him, from Xabi Alonso to Jose Mourinho. A shock return to Liverpool has been mooted, but speaking to Football Insider, O’Rourke has played down the rumour, saying the 28-year-old still wants to make things work in Spain: “There’ll always be speculation over his situation, but I don’t think Trent has given up on his Real Madrid dream just yet.

“I don’t think Real are actively pushing him out the door either right now. So yeah, look, I think the player is ready and waiting for his chance and ready to prove himself.” Liverpool should avoid Trent Alexander-Arnold reunion Alexander-Arnold’s world-class ability on the ball is obvious, with few full-backs of his generation able to dictate matches and see passes in the manner that he can.
