News about Trent Alexander-Arnold

Liverpool captain Virgin van Dijk has confirmed he is in talks about extending his stay at Anfield, praising Arne Slot's extra focus on defence as a reason for their blistering start to the season. Van Dijk, who is out of contract in the summer along with Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, hasn't let uncertainty over his future interfere with leading Liverpool to the top of the Premier League. 'Discussions are ongoing with the right people and when it's time to make a decision, everyone will know it as well,' he said.

She is said to be reluctant about the idea, but Queen Camilla is to be immortalised in bronze next year for her first official Royal sculpture. 'I don't think she's mad about having it done,' artist Lady Petchey (left) revealed, 'but she has agreed as it will be kept at the Royal Osteoporosis Society, which I think is lovely.' The Queen is president of the charity, which will display the finished work at their headquarters in Bath, with a copy going to Clarence House.

LEWIS STEELE: It might be a fortnightly occurrence in 2024 but the scene is a stunned Old Trafford last month. Luis Diaz had just scored two goals in seven minutes to put Liverpool firmly in control of Arne Slot 's first trip to bitter rivals Manchester United , leaving home fans speechless again. Up in the away corner, those who made the short jaunt to Manchester from Merseyside were beginning a journey through the full repertoire of chants from the Kop songbook. No anthem was belted out with more ferocity than their ode to Diaz. 'His name is Lucho, he came from Porto,' it goes, to the tune of Bella Ciao, the folk song dedicated to the partisans of the Italian resistance. 'He came to score, came to score… came to score, score, score. He's Luis Diaz, he's from Barrancas… and he plays for Liverpool.'

Gameweek 6 of the Premier League is set to deliver another blockbuster weekend with Manchester United's clash with Tottenham on Sunday the pick of the games. After a disappointing draw at Crystal Palace last weekend, Erik ten Hag's team will be desperate to return to winning ways at Old Trafford against a Spurs side who have endured an up-and-down start to the campaign. In addition, both Arsenal and Manchester City will be keen to get three points on the board after their pulsating 2-2 draw at the Etihad last weekend. With plenty to ponder, FPL managers around the country have an opportunity to bring back many of the title rivals' top stars into their teams following a low-point week. Mail Sport's panel - including experts from FPL gurus Fantasy Football Hub - have predicted the full-time result of each match this weekend, detailing the players they expect to score the most points in each fixture.

When Cafu kissed the World Cup trophy on June 30, 2002 before lifting it triumphantly into the Yokohama air, Brazil were wallowing in the glory of a record-extending fifth title. That night in Japan was the second time the attacking right-back had won the competition in just eight years, having been part of the side who conquered all in the US in 1994. Synonymous with skill, speed and passion, an entertaining Seleção side were following in the footsteps of Pele , Zico and Jairzinho by not just winning - but winning beautifully. Fast forward 22 years and the sparkling Brazilian style has lost its lustre. An early exit from this summer's Copa America and a dearth of star players has led to scathing comments from a number of high-profile critics.

Trent Alexander-Arnold had spent the afternoon on the front foot, driving Bournemouth to distraction, and things were not going to change now the game was over. Liverpool's right-back is 100 days away from being able to talk to foreign clubs about signing terms with them next summer and there remains no indication that the uncertainty around his future will suddenly be ended by the presentation of a new Anfield deal. For high-profile players in such situations, there are two possible routes to follow. The first involves ducking all media commitments and remaining tight-lipped. The other is to be open, clear and in control. It was no surprise, then, to see which option Alexander-Arnold took.

Of all of fashion's nepo babies, it's Iris Law who is the most in demand. And she showed why as she strutted along the catwalk in a revealing light purple dress with a yellow floral pattern over purple and yellow bikini bottoms at Versace's show at Milan Fashion Week on Friday night. The model daughter of actor Jude Law and fashion designer Sadie Frost paired the daring look with orange platform high heels and a matching purple bag. But what stood out most was Ms Law's ­platinum blonde hair, styled short with a heavy fringe as she appeared alongside supermodel Gigi Hadid, 29, and Vittoria Ceretti, 26, Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend. For Ms Law, 23, it was her first ­fashion outing since her split from her boyfriend, England and Liverpool footballer Trent Alexander-Arnold, was revealed. The pair had seemed likely to become the new Posh and Becks after they met in May and were later seen looking cosy at a photoshoot for clothing label Guess.

Newly single Iris Law stunned in a warm grey strapless mini dress on Thursday as attended Charli XCX and H&M's London Fashion Week party. Jude Law's daughter, 23, looked beautiful in the seamless dress which featured two bejewelled faux pockets. She wore just silver hoops and a subtle silver ring, opting to let her gorgeous dress do all the talking.  Also at the party were Iris's fellow nepo babies Lila Moss, 21, daughter of Kate Moss, and Lennon Gallagher , 24, son of Liam Gallagher. The bash comes just days after it was revealed that Iris had split from her Liverpool footballer boyfriend Trent Alexander-Arnold , 25.

Liverpool 's fast start to the new season and quick adaptation to Arne Slot 's approach has, for the time being, averted attention away from a trio of looming contract spectres. The ongoing contractual situations of three of their star players; Mohamed Salah , Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold , has certainly been a point of discussion in the first few weeks of the new term. But many Reds fans still harbour hopes of starting the 2025-26 season with all three of their world class performers. The realists among them might foresee a future without one or even two of them. Losing the bunch is, frankly, inconceivable.

SAMI MOKBEL AND IAN LADYMAN IN DUBLIN: The interim head coach is also considering handing Anthony Gordon a start in Saturday's Nations League game versus Republic of Ireland, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is finally set to play in his preferred right-back position. Grealish and Maguire were two of the most high-profile omissions of the squad Gareth Southgate selected for Germany 2024. Elsewhere, Newcastle attacker Gordon, who played just five minutes during the European Championships, is also in line to play. Jack Grealish is set to play in an advanced central attacking role behind captain Harry Kane while Carsley himself has already vowed to play football on the front foot.

IAN LADYMAN: It's a strange thing for a football reporter to admit but the days of turning up to a match and knowing who you will find on the team sheet have gone. Big squads, too many games and, yes, the smothering number of obscure foreign footballers have left the experience feeling a little different. There are 20 players on a Premier League team sheet these days and the chances are there will be another half-dozen - more if you are at Chelsea - sitting in their tracksuits in the stand. Sometimes, it does jar. Does it feel strange to run my eyes down a Wolverhampton Wanderers team and see not a single English player as we did before they played Chelsea on Sunday? Yes, it does. This was the club that gave us Billy Wright and, later, Steve Bull. It wasn't much different at Anfield on the same day, where Liverpool had only Trent Alexander-Arnold in their line-up. Would I like it to be different? In an ideal world, I would.

Liverpool fans are concerned that Trent Alexander-Arnold has fallen out with new manager Arne Slot. Alexander-Arnold cut a frustrated figure as he was substituted in the 72nd minute of Liverpool's 2-0 win at home to Brentford, with the right-back having also been substituted against Ipswich Town last weekend. Given that he has entered into the final year of his contract, there is much uncertainty regarding Alexander-Arnold's long-term future at Liverpool.

DOMINIC KING: 'It's the only club I've ever known. It's a proud moment - it always is - signing a new contract here. I live the dream every day.' That was Trent Alexander-Arnold , July 30, 2021. Amazing to think, then, that in 130 days this Liverpool emblem will be free to begin conversations that could end his dream. Across Europe, big clubs will be watching in amazement, scarcely able to believe they could land this shimmering jewel for free next summer.

The millionaire heir of Eddie Stobart has been accused of 'intentionally damaging' two period cottages next to his sprawling Cheshire estate. William Stobart, the son of haulage tycoon Eddie Stobart, had previously upset locals over noisy flights from his helipad in the leafy village of Over Peover. Now, in a fresh dispute, residents have accused the businessman of intentionally damaging two 19th century cottages which he has applied to demolish for a new development - having yet to be granted permission.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a move to Real Madrid throughout the summer and one of his Liverpool team-mates has clearly been taking notice. The English full-back has rejoined his team enjoying an extended summer break following the European Championship. Alexander-Arnold fell out of the starting XI during the tournament as the Three Lions made it all the way to the final before coming up short against Spain.

From Primrose Hill royalty to multi-hyphenated influencer, Iris Law can now add footballer's girlfriend to her list.   The daughter of actors Jude Law and Sadie Frost, 23, recently set pulses racing and tongues wagging after being spotted in Barbados with footballing star Trent Alexander-Arnold on Monday. The pair enjoyed a PDA-filled beach getaway in Barbados, seemingly confirming their rumoured new romance. 

Iris Law has confirmed she's dating Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold, with the couple enjoying a PDA-filled beach getaway in Barbados on Monday. The model, 23, set pulses racing in a skimpy red gingham bikini as she put on an amorous display with the Liverpool FC star, 25, on their sunny break. Iris showed off her svelte physique in the elegant red bikini with a fun gingham print as she and Trent relaxed in the sunshine.

Alexander-Arnold (right), who is Liverpool's vice captain, is entering the final year of his contract with the Reds, with it unclear how far along potential negotiaitons the club and player are. Reports have surfaced in recent days of Real Madrid being interested in signing the defender as the latest piece of the jigsaw in their mega-team that includes Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jnr and Bellingham (left). And potential deal is likely a way off, but Alexander-Arnold has spent his time off post-Euro 2024 with close friend Bellingham in the United States as their bromance continues to blossom.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has addressed Gary Lineker's criticism of England during their Euro 2024 campaign. The Three Lions made it all the way to the final in Germany before losing to Spain, but their road to Berlin was far from plain sailing, with the team struggling badly in the group stage. After struggling to a 1-0 win over Serbia in their opening match, England were held to a 1-1 draw by Denmark and Lineker labelled the performance 's***' on his The Rest is Football podcast.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has made it clear who he would like to replace Gareth Southgate as England manager. Southgate stood down from his role as Three Lions boss less than 48 hours after losing the final of Euro 2024 to Spain last weekend. He had been in the hot seat for almost eight years, having taken the job in September 2016. All of Alexander-Arnold's 29 senior caps to date have come during the Southgate reign.

SAMI MOKBEL IN BERLIN: Those who have Gareth Southgate down as a cautious manager would do well to consider his body of work here in Germany. Exhibit 1: playing Trent Alexander-Arnold - a right back - in central midfield. An experiment, albeit a failed one, that reeked of invention. Exhibit 2: handing 19-year-old Kobbie Mainoo a place in his team for the knockout stages of the tournament. Some call, given his youth. Hardly the decisions of a reactive coach, although there are those who simply won't be told otherwise.

He can strike a golf ball as well as a football, it appears. But after teeing-off in style with his England team-mates, Bukayo Saka came back down to earth with a bump. The Arsenal forward, 22, was filmed being applauded by the squad after striking a golf ball as the team regrouped at their training camp - a golf and spa resort in Blankenhain, Thuringia, ahead of tomorrow's showdown with the Netherlands. Saka turned to acknowledge their praise, before promptly tripping over a golf bag. He ended up on the grass, as teammates including Luke Shaw , 28 and Trent Alexander-Arnold , 25, struggled to contain their laughter.

OLIVER HOLT - CHIEF SPORTS WRITER IN BLANKENHAIN: England have not won any prizes for style at these Euros. They have not wowed us with free-flowing football. They have not swept teams aside. They have glimpsed doors ajar and, time after time, crept through them like silent assassins. They have become masters at winning ugly and if it is not quite what many were expecting from a team that was acclaimed before it left for Germany as being of all the talents, there is still beauty to be found in their resilience and their cussed, determined, stubborn refusal to lose. In past tournaments when England have struggled to find their fluency, they have been on an early plane home.

It was the unfathomable grief of losing his girlfriend to cancer which first inspired Stuart Sandeman to explore the art of breath work. Unable to leave the house or speak to anyone, Sandeman was at rock bottom until he booked a last-minute breathing workshop with his mother and felt a sudden breakthrough where he could suddenly 'work through my grief using breath'. Eight years on, the wellness guru and Radio 1 DJ is being lauded as the man who could hold the key to England's new-found penalty success thanks to his game-changing breathing sessions with Gareth Southgate 's squad. The Three Lions held their nerve to dispatch five perfect penalties in their dramatic win against Switzerland in Dusseldorf on Saturday night - setting up a semi-final showdown against the Netherlands on Wednesday. Players including Ivan Toney , Bukayo Saka and Trent Alexander-Arnold - who fearlessly thumped the winning spot-kick into the top left corner - were seen calmly breathing as they stepped up with the weight of a nation on their shoulders.
