Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has shared a message on social media ahead of the Reds’ final Premier League match of the 2024-25 campaign against Crystal Palace. It will be the English right-back’s last match for the Merseyside club, as he will leave his boyhood club when his contract expires this summer.
Alexander-Arnold grew through the ranks at Liverpool and has only played for the Reds in his career so far. He joined the youth team in 2004 and was promoted to the senior team in 2016. His departure this summer means he has spent 21 years at the club.
Ahead of Sunday’s game against Palace, which will be his final match for the club, Alexander-Arnold took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), posting a picture of himself and a pair of boots. He captioned it with:
In his nine years in Liverpool’s senior team, Alexander-Arnold played a key role in the club’s success, winning multiple trophies, with the most recent being the 2024-25 Premier League title. He is expected to join Real Madrid as a free agent this summer.
Arne Slot said he is yet to decide whether Trent Alexander-Arnold will feature in the match against Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Englishman’s decision to leave Anfield at the end of the season was met with fury from a lot of Liverpool fans.
The 26-year-old came on as a substitute in the Reds’ 2-2 draw with Arsenal but was welcomed with boos from fans. He was an unused substitute in the 3-2 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion in the following game.
In the pre-match press conference on Friday, Slot was asked if Alexander-Arnold would feature against Crystal Palace. He said in response (via Liverpool’s official website):
Slot added:
Alexander-Arnold has registered 12 goal contributions for Liverpool across competitions this season.
An ardent Chelsea fan, Ezekiel’s journey as a football fan began in his childhood, witnessing Ronaldinho dazzle with his skills. His interest in the beautiful game deepened after Nigeria were knocked out of the 2010 FIFA World Cup; he was impressed with the Super Eagles’ fighting spirit in their 2-2 Group B draw against South Korea. Some other World Cup matches which have left a deep impact on him were Belgium’s incredible comeback against Japan in the round of 16 of the 2018 version and the 2022 final.
Lionel Messi is the one true GOAT for Ezekiel and he also follows the Major League Soccer and the Saudi Pro League owing to him and Cristiano Ronaldo. When not writing, he spends his free time deepening his SEO knowledge and watching skits.
