Trent Alexander-Arnold insists he has only been learning Spanish for ‘a couple of months’, despite producing a near-fluent speech at his Real Madrid unveiling last week.

Alexander-Arnold got his Real Madrid career underway by starting as right-back in their 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal, before making way for Lucas Vazquez in the 65th minute. The 26-year-old's fluency in Spanish during his introductory address had fans and pundits alike taking notice as he expressed himself entirely in Spanish.
