As Liverpool beat West Ham, Alexander-Arnold's controversial celebration shocked everyone

Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold put on a masterclass performance as the Reds thrashed West Ham 5-0 in London. The English right-back not only found the net but also seemed to send a message to those speculating about his future.
With a stunning goal that capped off a dominant display, Alexander-Arnold silenced critics and fueled rumors of a potential move to Real Madrid.
The Spaniard giants have been linked with the Liverpool academy graduate for some time, and the recent transfer speculation has been rife in the Spanish press, particularly in the pages of Marca.
After scoring, Alexander-Arnold's celebration seemed to be directed at those who have been reporting on his potential departure. The exact nature of the celebration is open to interpretation, but many believe it was a subtle dig at the rumors.
When asked about Alexander-Arnold's future, Liverpool manager Arne Slot declined to comment. "I'm focused on the next game," he said. "I don't want to get into speculation about the future of the players."
Alexander-Arnold's contract with Liverpool is set to expire in 2025, and with Real Madrid reportedly keen on securing his services, the coming months could prove to be decisive for the player's future. His performance against West Ham was a reminder of his immense talent and his importance to the Liverpool team.
