In a move that’s caught fans completely off guard, new Liverpool boss Arne Slot has wasted no time making his mark by officially crowning the club’s next set-piece specialist following the shock departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
With Trent’s exit marking the end of an era for dead-ball brilliance at Anfield, many wondered who could possibly step into his boots. But according to inside reports, Slot has already made his choice and it’s one few saw coming.
“He’s got the vision, the technique, and most importantly, the courage. When it’s time to step up, he delivers. For me, he’s our next free-kick leader,” Slot reportedly told club staff.
The new maestro has already been seen practicing free-kicks relentlessly during pre-season, curling efforts past goalkeepers with terrifying precision. Fans and analysts are raving about the raw ability and potential he’s shown in training and now, with Slot’s public backing, the stage is his.
The question now is:
Can he live up to the legacy of Trent?
Can he bend it under the lights when it really counts?
One thing’s for sure Anfield will be watching closely.
