After agreeing to join Real Madrid in a Bosman transfer, Alexander-Arnold had been accused by Liverpool fans and pundits of long plotting to make the move before it was made official.'
But when promoting his Spanish teacher, Sara Duque, this week, Alexander-Arnold states: "'Hi, I'm Trent. I started learning Spanish with Sara five months ago.
"I didn't speak any Spanish before. I wanted to learn Spanish to communicate better with my team-mates, my coach and the Madrid fans - and adapt better to the culture.
"I really like the lessons because they were very football-based. The terminology we were learning about was press conferences, interviews and vocabulary that I would need to talk to my team-mates on a day-to-day basis within the club.
"This helped me very, very much and I really enjoyed every lesson."
