Premier League winner who moved to Real Madrid advises Trent against move

Former Premier League winner Emmanuel Petit has opened up the rumours linking Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid.

"For generations, hardly any English players have gone abroad," Petit said. "Is it time for Trent to look for a new challenge? Personally, I’d like to think he will take more responsibility next season and relish his leadership role.

"Sometimes, the grass is not greener and I don’t have the feeling that Trent will support the pressure from Real Madrid.

"He’s in a cocoon at Liverpool, surrounded by love and support and will rarely miss a game.

"If he plays like he does defensively at Real Madrid, I don’t think the fans will accept that, too, so he may be better off staying in his comfort zone."
