The Liverpool star, who arrived on a free transfer , surprised the crowd when he spoke in Spanish at his press conference, when everyone expected the Three Lions star to speak English.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed he has been learning Spanish for months , showing how well prepared and eager he is to succeed at Real Madrid.

The reason Trent Alexander-Arnold is a big surprise is because English players who come to Bernabeu often have difficulty adapting to Spanish culture, struggling more than expected.

Jude Bellingham broke the mould last year – speaking fluent Spanish in an interview, nearly a year after joining Real Madrid.
