Trent Alexander-Arnold's reaction after hearing Bellingham is set to play for Liverpool

Until before the World Cup, there was a lot of talk about the possible destinations of the most coveted players during the transfer window this winter and summer, with the situation starting to take some shape with some of them seemingly already convinced by their team-mates about what decision to make, with Jude Bellingham likely to have been persuaded by Trent Alexander-Arnold to pack his bags in Germany to catch a flight to Merseyside.

Although the Reds and Jurgen Klopp may not have asked him to do so, it was surely Alexander himself who occasionally held talks with his national team-mate about his future in European football, with the Liverpool man's words perhaps influencing him to opt for the Reds and leave behind the options of moving elsewhere in England or to other countries such as Spain.

The photos and shots that have emerged during the World Cup in Qatar have shown how well these two players get along off the pitch, being both good elements both in their clubs and in their national team, causing their good level that there is a good synergy every time they are playing a match with the three lions, being the footballing arguments perhaps another factor that influences the decision of the jewel of Borussia Dortmund.

It is clear that the happiness of having Bellingham at Liverpool would not only belong to TAA, as both Jurgen Klopp and the whole squad would be completely grateful for the help of an attacking midfielder of such qualities, causing the internal competition for a place in that sector to grow, with Harvey Elliott learning a lot from the situation, while other players such as Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez will surely know how to take advantage of the opportunities generated from the back.

TAA and Bellingham are close at the World Cup

The great connection that these two World Cup players have shown with England has led social media to take Bellingham's arrival at Liverpool almost as a given, with some people who wanted to see him wear the white shirt and play his next few years at the Santiago Bernabeu with Real Madrid giving up on him. For the moment both players will have to concentrate on what happens in Qatar, especially as the United States have made them look like an opponent that is not invincible no matter how many Premier League stars they are surrounded by, with the midfielder hoping to improve for his third game against Wales, while the right-sided defender is still looking forward to his debut in the Middle East.
