Trent Alexander-Arnold has opened up on the influence of Jude Bellingham in his decision to move to Real Madrid. The full-back is set to make his first start since September 16, after a challenging start to life in the Spanish capital - and he's already said he won't celebrate if he scores.

"It was more so in his first season (at Real Madrid)… we’d meet up at England camps and everyone would want to know what it was like behind the scenes (at Real Madrid )… he said it was incredible, and he’d never seen anything like it. He talked so highly of the club, and I’d made my mind up at the end of the day, I needed a change for me.

It made settling in easy for me."

I’d say on a technical level, it’s much higher (than the Premier League ) if I’m honest." The England international also revealed that he received messages from Andy Robertson, Mohamed Salah, and Ibrahima Konaté after the draw confirmed his swift return to Merseyside.
