'Agent' Alexander-Arnold spotted with Bellingham as Liverpool suffer setback
Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold has once again been spotted spending time with Jude Bellingham amid fresh developments over the midfielder’s future.
The Reds have been linked with a move for the Borussia Dortmund and England star for some time as their midfield is in dire need of investment ahead of next season. Real Madrid have also been credited with an interest in Bellingham, which may complicate a potential switch to Anfield.
Reds star Alexander-Arnold appears to be doing all he can to get the midfielder to Merseyside. The pair are understood to share a close friendship that was on display throughout the World Cup.
That pair have met up once again ahead of the latest round of international fixtures. A post on Reddit showed the two sitting together at a restaurant enjoying a meal.
They accompanied the post with the caption: “Agent Trent back in action.” The pair were then pictured once more taking in a Chris Brown concert at the O2 Arena in London. The American singer is in the midst of the UK leg of his European tour, playing five nights in the capital.

Whether Bellingham’s future was mentioned remains unknown - but Liverpool have been dealt a blow in the pursuit of the 19-year-old. According to The Athletic, it is ‘increasingly unlikely’ that the midfielder will put pen to paper with the Reds over the next few months.

A huge transfer fee, as well as Liverpool’s desire not to be drawn into a bidding war, has put the Reds’ chances of signing him in severe doubt. It is suggested that whilst Jurgen Klopp remains a huge admirer of Bellingham, Real Madrid and Premier League rivals Manchester City are in better positions to complete a deal.
Speaking shortly after the World Cup - a period that saw the England star’s valuation rise - Klopp said: “Bellingham is just exceptional. He plays so mature, like a 28-year-old. Everybody already knew his skills, but I have no idea what that means for the money side of it.
“He’s very good, exceptional. He had an incredible World Cup”.
Bellingham, 19, has continued his electric form for Dortmund since his return. The former Birmingham starlet has scored 10 goals and notched six assists for the German giants in all competitions this term.
He has over two years remaining on his contract in Germany. Bellingham will also be hoping to shine for England over the international break.
