Liverpool boss Arne Slot addresses Trent Alexander-Arnold’s ‘all talk’ celebration as Real Madrid-linked star sends message after scoring against West Ham

Premier League

Liverpool

Manchester United

<p>The Real Madrid-linked full-back scored the fourth goal in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-vs-west-ham-mohamed-salah-lionel-messi-eight-point-premier-league-lead/blt1e8a7f8c47f26e75" target="_blank">Reds' 5-0 win over West Ham on Sunday night</a> at London Stadium. Alexander-Arnold then ran towards the cameras with his hand to his ear, imitating a chatting hand for all to see. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-fans-erupt-trent-alexander-arnold-celebration-west-ham/blt35b518d6c1c43dfa" target="_blank">The unique celebration left the fans guessing</a> as many of them claimed that it was a hint that he is ready to stay back at Anfield and snub Los Blancos' offer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>After the game, Liverpool boss Slot opened up on the defender's celebration as he too hinted that the player could stay at Anfield. He also spoke on the performance of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mo-salah-update-liverpool-contract/blt80fced8ae4d8f8a8" target="_blank">Mohamed Salah</a> and Virgil van Dijk, who are also in the final year of their contracts.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to reporters, the Dutch coach said: "No, I don’t think it’s negative at all. He’s playing really well, scored a great goal and the way he celebrated his goal probably tells you enough. I don't think I have to say much more about it.</p><p>"I’m really happy with Trent, just as happy as I am with Mo and with Virgil. So for me, there’s no difference. For the outside world, maybe there’s a bit more things happening around Trent in the media than with the other two but I’m happy with all three of them at the moment."</p>

WHAT ARNE SLOT SAID

<p>The Merseyside club, who now have an eight-point lead at the top of the table, with a game in hand, will host Manchester United in a league clash at Anfield on January 5.</p>
