Liverpool boss Arne Slot opened up about Trent Alexander-Arnold's celebration after Liverpool thrashed West Ham 5-0 in their last league game of the year on December 29. The win at the London Stadium took them to 45 points in 18 games, eight points ahead of second-placed Nottingham Forest.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was one of the ace players against The Hammers. The Liverpool Academy graduate was lethal in both attack and defense. In the 54th minute, he scored his first goal of the season for the Merseysiders, making it 4-0 against the home side.
While celebrating the goal, he made a signal towards fans that resembled a shushing gesture. Several fans and pundits construed it as Trent shutting down rumors linking him to a move to Real Madrid in 2025. Trent's current contract for The Reds expires next year and tabloids have strongly hinted at a potential move to Santiago Bernabeu next season.
