"The way he celebrated his goal should tell you enough" - Slot on Alexander-Arnold future

Liverpool are loving life under Arne Slot. The Reds added another win to their Premier League tally against West Ham -the 18th-, in a match in which Mohamed Salah shone with 1 goal and 2 assists and in which Alexander-Arnold sent a message in his goal celebration.

The British full-back has been in the spotlight in the Spanish press in recent hours. Both ‘Marca’ and ‘AS’ have agreed that the player has told the club that he does not want to renew, because his intention is to join the ‘Merengues’.

In response to the rumours linking him with Madrid, Alexander-Arnold, just after scoring the fourth goal, put his right hand to his ear and waved his fingers in a clear sign that "they are talking a lot". Arne Slot, already in the press room, referred to this gesture of his player.

"I don't think it's negative at all. He is playing very well, he scored a great goal and the way he celebrated says it all. I don't think I need to say much more about it.

The Reds have closed the door on a possible exit from Alexander-Arnold, who has made his total and absolute commitment to Liverpool very clear. It is now up to the Merseyside outfit to make a move, as the Briton, from 1st January, can negotiate with any club. Madrid remain in the wings.
