Liverpool fans can't take their eyes off one player's face as Trent Alexander-Arnold gives farewell speech in training

Liverpool fans have laser-focused in on the reaction of one player during Trent Alexander-Arnold's farewell speech.

Alexander-Arnold will leave the club on a free transfer next month after choosing to run down his contract.

The England full-back has received a mixed reaction from Reds fans, with many furious at his decision to leave the club for nothing.

He was booed by sections of supporters at Anfield when he came on as a substitute during this month's 2-2 draw with Arsenal - days after he announced his exit.

As a result, perhaps, many of the celebrations of Alexander-Arnold's time at Liverpool - which has spanned 20 years - appear to have been done largely away from Anfield, with Reds players lifting the Premier League trophy after they take on Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The number 66 was presented with a framed Liverpool shirt in training this week, with his team-mates gathering around for a final team photo.

Afterwards, Alexander-Arnold gave a farewell speech in front of the players and staff.

But while he was speaking, fans spotted the expression on Virgil van Dijk's face - which didn't change throughout the entirety of the speech.

And while he may have just simply been listening intently, fans came up with a different theory.

One wrote: "The look of disgust on Virg's face."

A second added: "Van Dijk ain't buying it."

And a third wrote: "Yeah, Van Dijk and Alisson look emotional."

Reds captain Van Dijk will be presented with the Premier League trophy by Liverpool legend Alan Hansen at Anfield on Sunday.

Whether Alexander-Arnold plays any part in the fixture remains to be seen, with Conor Bradley preferred in the last two fixtures against Arsenal and Brighton.

Manager Arne Slot did bring the departing full-back on against Arsenal, of course, but he was then an unused substitute against Brighton.
