Trent Alexander-Arnold vs Conor Bradley: Liverpool stars compared with England ace linked with Real Madrid transfer
Share:
TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD: it's the name on the tip of every Liverpool fan's tongue... and Real Madrid fans' too. And that's the problem for Arne Slot - one of many he must face in the second half of his debut season at Anfield. Following fan-favourite Jurgen Klopp was always going to be a hell of an ask.

But the Dutch chief has guided Liverpool to miles clear at the top of the Premier League at the halfway stage - with dreams of a quadruple, including the Champions League, still very much alive. However, as of January 1, foreign clubs have been able to negotiate pre-contract terms for three of the Reds' biggest stars.

Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. All Kop legends. All Premier League champions. All Champions League winners. But, of the three, speculation has been swirling around one more than others: the local lad, Trent. The right-back was met by groans and moans among the Anfield faithful during his disasterclass in the 2-2 draw against struggling Manchester United.
His defensive frailties have long been documented, despite noticeable improvements in recent months. Despite that, Real Madrid are desperate to land the England international. FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS. So much so, in fact, they are believed to have bid around £20million to sign him this month rather than risk a potential dogfight with Europe's elite in the free-for-all of pre-contract deals.
