Liverpool manager Arne Slot says they will give former Reds star Trent Alexander-Arnold a warm welcome on his return to Anfield.

The 26-year-old spent most of his career at Anfield, where he scored 23 goals and assisted 92 from 354 appearances across all competitions.

Trent opted for a move to Real Madrid during the off-season, where he signed a six-year contract.

Slot has reiterated that his former vice-captain will be welcomed with open arms when he returns to Anfield for their Champions League clash against Real.

“I can only tell you what kind of a reception he will get from me,” Slot told his club’s official website.

“I have great memories of the player and the human being. He was our vice-captain, he was my vice-captain last season.

“I have memories working with him that were only positive and I have memories from when I was watching him in front of the television which are only positive as well.

“I can remember multiple great moments of him wearing the Liverpool shirt. So, he will get a warm welcome by me.

“Let’s first wait and see if he’s on the pitch tomorrow and how our fans will react. I have no clue how that’s going to be. But he gets a warm welcome from me, that’s for sure.”
