Trent Alexander-Arnold has finally made his departure from Liverpool public, prompting a message from his long-time partner in crime Mohamed Salah on social media

Before every Liverpool home game, the team bus turns off Walton Lane and crawls into Anfield Road, where fans line the street, waving flags, blaring horns and filling the air with red smoke. The streets around the stadium feature murals paying homage to Liverpool heroes past and present: from legends of the 1960s and 1970s,

When many another thought the Liverpool manager need to buy a right-back, he chose not to. But that was because Jurgen Klopp was prepared to be patient, because he knew that a teenage Trent Alexander-Arnold was coming through.
