Real Madrid are set to officially unveil Trent Alexander-Arnold as a new player on Thursday morning.
The right-back has completed his £10 million move from Liverpool and is set to be part of the Los Blancos squad for the upcoming Club World Cup in the United States.
The decision to leave Anfield has caused quite a stir in recent weeks. Alexander-Arnold was jeered by sections of the Liverpool support during the 2-2 draw with Arsenal, although he was given a warmer reception a fortnight later when the team lifted the Premier League trophy.
Liverpool have wasted no time replacing him. They have signed Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen to fill a right-back slot; the club are also in talks over deals for Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez.
