'Did you see me this week on social media?' - Slot

It might be easier said than done but Liverpool boss Arne Slot says "now it's time to draw a line under" the situation surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold. Alexander-Arnold was booed by sections of the Anfield crowd when he came on as a substitute against Arsenal last Sunday in his first outing after announcing he would be leaving the club at the end of his contract this summer. The 26-year-old, who is expected to join Real Madrid, was also booed when he touched the ball, although there was also applause from other fans.

It might be easier said than done but Liverpool boss Arne Slot says "now it's time to draw a line under" the situation surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Alexander-Arnold was booed by sections of the Anfield crowd when he came on as a substitute against Arsenal last Sunday in his first outing after announcing he would be leaving the club at the end of his contract this summer.

The 26-year-old, who is expected to join Real Madrid, was also booed when he touched the ball, although there was also applause from other fans.

The Reds, who have already won the Premier League title, have two games remaining this season and they play away at Brighton on Monday before they end the campaign with a home match against Crystal Palace on Sunday, 25 May.

"Let's focus now on the fact that we've won the league and for us to enjoy the upcoming one-and-a-half weeks with that feeling and not talk and be distracted that much about Trent's situation," said Slot.

The Dutchman has not had a chance to speak to Alexander-Arnold about the situation as training will resume on Friday after some time off for the Reds boss and players.

Slot has been pictured in Ibiza in the week and, when asked how much thought he had given to the two games left compared to transfers, he amusingly replied, "Did you see me this week on social media?!"

He added: "No, no, even if you are celebrating over there, that doesn't mean that the whole day you don't think about something else."
