Liverpool fans are now convinced that Trent Alexander-Arnold will stay at the club after his latest goal celebration. The right-back scored the fourth goal in Liverpool’s dominant 5-0 win over West Ham United on Sunday (December 29), extending their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points.
While it was Alexander-Arnold’s first goal of the season, it was his post-goal celebration that sparked the most interest. After scoring, the England international made a “keep talking” gesture, which many interpreted as a response to ongoing rumors linking him with a move to Real Madrid.
With Alexander-Arnold’s contract set to expire at the end of this season, speculation about his future has been rife, particularly with Real Madrid frequently mentioned as a potential destination. As his contract runs down, he will be free to talk to foreign clubs from January and could even agree to a pre-contract deal.
However, despite concerns over the possible departures of Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah—all of whom are out of contract in the summer—Liverpool fans are now optimistic that the full-back will stay at his boyhood club, interpreting his celebration as a sign of his commitment.
