LIVERPOOL: England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is leaving Liverpool, the club he has been at since the age of six, he said on social media platform X on Monday, calling it the hardest decision of his life.
Born in Liverpool, Alexander-Arnold rose through the youth ranks to become one of the best right backs in the world, winning two Premier League titles, the Champions League and the Club World Cup with the English team.
“This club has been my whole life – my whole world — for 20 years,” Alexander-Arnold said in his statement. “From the Academy right through until now, the support and love I have felt from everyone inside and outside of the club will stay with me forever. I will forever be in debt to you all.
“But, I have never known anything else and this decision is about experiencing a new challenge, taking myself out of my comfort zone and pushing myself both professionally and personally.”
The 26-year-old England international frequently played in a hybrid midfield role for Liverpool in recent seasons, operating as a full back when out of possession but moving into midfield during attacks.

McLaren hit by fuel-supply issue during F1 testing

PARIS: McLaren revealed on Thursday that they encountered a fuel-supply problem with their Mercedes engine during the penultimate day of pre-season private testing in Barcelona.
After world champion Lando Norris became the first to take the wheel of the new MCL40 on Wednesday, his Australian team-mate Oscar Piastri completed 48 laps of the circuit on Thursday morning.
“During the lunch break the team identified an issue on the fuel system that required extensive investigation,” McLaren said in a statement.
As a result, their second testing session was cut short.
“There’s a lot of challenges this year up and down the grid, so it was good to get stuck in,” said Piastri.
“These cars are completely different to what we’ve had the last few years. That’s part of what this test is about.”
Aston Martin unveiled their new car on Thursday, designed by British engineer Adrian Newey.
Lance Stroll was first to take it out on track, with Spain’s Fernando Alonso set to drive on Friday, according to the team.
With the upheaval in technical regulations set to take effect for the upcoming season, teams are focusing this week on the reliability of their cars rather than performance.
A clearer picture of each team’s competitive performance will only emerge during the two official test sessions in Bahrain in February, ahead of the season?opening Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 8.
