Trent Alexander-Arnold was just 'a normal lad from Liverpool, whose dream came true'. Here's why his expected move to Real Madrid is a nightmare for his local legacy...
In March 2017, Trent Alexander-Arnold was readying for his first external interview as a Liverpool player and the infinitely more-hyped Ben Woodburn, who had broken Michael Owen's record to become the club's youngest goalscorer, was getting a taster of media duties alongside him.
The location was a room just off reception at the old Melwood campus, and before the pair had entered, a member of the backroom team stuck his head through the door and told this reporter: "You'll be talking to a future Liverpool captain today - and no, it's not the one who was getting the headlines."
