However, when it comes to Trent Alexander-Arnold, Arne Slot explained that he does not have a definite answer about the future of the playmaking right-back.

Arne Slot revealed that Trent is just coming back from an injury setback, and he has shown his commitment to staying at the club. Slot revealed that he is even training ahead of Liverpool’s clash against Leicester City.

"If you want to talk for hours about Trent, it's the same answer for hours. We don't talk about these things unless they are done, and they aren't, so that's why we don't talk in public about his situation,” Arne Slot revealed as quoted by Sky Sports.

Arne Slot on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s commitment

Arne Slot lauded Trent as one of the best players he has worked with, noting that he has fought so hard to be back in the game following the nagging injury.

The Liverpool boss revealed that the fans love him and know he is among the most talented but as of now, he cannot provide a definite answer about his future.

"He has worked so hard to be back already now, and the moment he is on the pitch, he shows me what a great football player he is and how much he is involved in us trying to achieve our goals this season,” he added.

"The fans of Liverpool, everyone who watches football over the last five, six or seven years knows he's been an incredible full-back for this football club. Let's see what the future brings."

While Arne Slot remains optimistic about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s commitment and recent progress, he insists that any discussions about the defender’s future must wait until there is something concrete to share.
