Trent Alexander-Arnold may not have many more games left in a Liverpool shirt, but he made his mark off the bench today.
Returning from an ankle injury, the Reds’ vice-captain scored a dramatic late winner against Leicester, sealing their relegation and pushing Arne Slot’s men within touching distance of the Premier League title.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the final whistle—and with rumors swirling about a potential free transfer to Real Madrid—Trent’s future remains uncertain. But for now, those concerns were put aside by both fans and teammates at the King Power Stadium.
Van Dijk Calls on Trent to Soak in the Applause
As Liverpool’s players applauded their traveling fans post-match, Virgil van Dijk made a point of bringing Trent forward to acknowledge the crowd, a clear nod to his match-winning contribution.
Still Respected in the Dressing Room
Despite the speculation surrounding his future, Van Dijk’s gesture showed that Trent continues to have the full backing of his teammates. Whether he stays or leaves, his importance to the squad is clear.
While it would be a major loss to see him depart for free—as seems likely—supporters will savor this moment. If it turns out to be his final big contribution in red, it’ll be remembered fondly as Liverpool edges closer to a 20th league title.
