Liverpool returned to action on Sunday as the Reds drew 2-2 against Arsenal. But if Arne Slot anticipated a distraction from this week’s news on Trent Alexander-Arnold, those hopes were dashed.
The right-back was jeered as he entered the Anfield pitch following his decision to depart Liverpool, which was confirmed last week. It certainly wasn’t how Alexander-Arnold wanted his story to end, and he will most probably approach the final two games of his Liverpool career with trepidation.
The supporters’ reaction was the biggest post-match talking point, despite the league’s top two playing out an entertaining affair, and Liverpool surrendering a two-goal lead at home. Slot, Jamie Carragher and Andy Robertson offered their reaction post-match.
Of course, attention has already turned to who could replace Alexander-Arnold. The latest reports suggest AS Monaco’s Vanderson has been “shortlisted” by the Reds.
Jeremie Frimpong’s name continues to be mentioned too. The Bayer Leverkusen defender scored an impressive goal in potentially his final home match at the BayArena and he celebrated by jumping on outgoing manager Xabi Alonso.
Elsewhere, there have been updates on Harvey Elliott, Rodrygo, and Real Madrid’s plans for Alexander-Arnold, plus a contract offer has supposedly gone in for Dean Huijsen. Ahead of a big summer, things are heating up, with Rayan Cherki also back on the agenda.
