Trent Alexander-Arnold Speaks on His Emotional Liverpool Comeback and the Messages That Welcomed Him Home
Trent Alexander-Arnold has opened up about the flood of emotional, funny, and deeply personal messages he received from his Liverpool teammates after news broke of his surprise return to Anfield.
