He sinks Leicester and takes Reds to 1 win of title but refuses to talk about own future
-
LEICESTER - Trent Alexander-Arnold refused to quash speculation that he will leave Liverpool for Real Madrid at the end of the season, after scoring a 76th-minute winner in a 1-0 victory at Leicester City.
The England right-back's strike on his return from a five-week injury layoff took the Reds to within one win of just a second English Premier League title in 35 years, while sending the Foxes down to the Championship on April 20.
Unlike Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who have signed new deals in recent weeks to prolong their stay, there has been no movement on Alexander-Arnold extending his stay at his boyhood club.
"I've said all season, I'm not going to speak on my situation. I'm not going to go into details, but these days like today are always special," Alexander-Arnold told Sky Sports.
"Scoring goals, playing, winning games, being close to winning titles as well as being in title races. They're special moments that will be with me forever and I'm glad to be a part of them."
Liverpool's previous title in the 2019-20 season was sealed when stadiums were shut to fans due to coronavirus restrictions.
