Transfer news LIVE: Kyle Walker asks to leave Man City, Arsenal ‘have made contact with Rashford’ – latest updates

Slot in the mood

Sticking with Liverpool, Arne Slot commented on the transfer speculation surrounding another of its key stars.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is on track to join Real Madrid after his contract at Anfield expires in the summer.

However, when asked about the full-back’s future, Slot replied: “Do you really think (I will say)?

“I completely understand the question and why you’re asking it, but you already know the answer, these conversations I’ve never shared, not about Trent or any others, about what I talk to them about.

“If other people talking about them destabilized the players at Liverpool, then we would really have a problem.

“I can say that he is playing on Sunday (against Manchester United) and I hope he will put in the same performances that he has over the last six months because everyone has seen what a great first half of the season he has had, how much he can achieve. here, how much he wants to win here.

“He played an amazing game against West Ham, we all remember the pass he gave to Mo (Salah). I see him at the training ground working every day.

“He is fully committed to us and will play on Sunday if they don’t tell me he is sick, but that’s not what I expect from them.

“Trent has taken a step up defensively this season. He is excellent in some matches, but also up and down in some matches, so consistency is the most important thing with top players. This is where the greatest improvement can occur.”
