TalkSPORT’s Dean Saunders said he gets why Alexander-Arnold might want to play abroad. He cited his playing career of wanting to play and live abroad which is why he played for Galatasaray and Benfica.
I thought [to myself], I’d love to play abroad at some point in my career. And I went to Benfica, and I went to Galatasaray. So I can’t say nothing, really. I just took the opportunity of having to go—playing abroad, living abroad.Dean Saunders
But he also pointed out that Real Madrid aren’t exactly in great form, especially after the way Arsenal knocked them out.
So, I can understand what he’s thinking, but he must be looking now, after that Real Madrid result, thinking, ‘Am I making the right choice here?’ Because Liverpool could be a force next season.Dean Saunders
