It’s a brave move by Alexander-Arnold

It has been a hugely emotional time for Liverpool fans in recent weeks.

The joy of running away with the Premier League title has been tempered somewhat by the pending departure of one of their finest players, Trent Alexander-Arnold, almost certainly to Real Madrid.

While all Liverpool fans are disappointed at losing arguably the best right-back in the business, some have taken it better than others.

There is an element who find it hard to come to terms with this outstanding player wishing to leave their beloved club when things were going so well. Social media has been awash with comments, some of which have not been kind to the 26-year-old star.

Contributing to the hurt is that Alexander-Arnold is a local lad. One of the most popular chants when he performs at Anfield is “he’s the Scouser in our team”. These fans are also concerned that he is leaving on a free transfer, but that was something the club should have sorted some time ago.
