In the clip, Alexander-Arnold greets the Italian with an embrace before walking up to the camera with a smile and saying, āNew boy on the block.ā
Following the right-back's concerning reaction to being substituted late in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Brentford last weekend, fans are happy to see Alexander-Arnold act in such a postive way.
Reacting to the clip on X, one fan wrote: "Trent looks fired up seeing Chiesa."
Another added: "Trent and Chiesa meet, got a feeling theyāll be involved in a lot of goals together š¤©"
While one joked: "You heard the perfect clap on the dap between trent and chiesa? great omen great omen."
After the match against Brentford, Slot spoke about how Alexander-Arnold reacted to being taken off in the 73rd minute.
"He didnāt look that happy after being taken off, you mean?ā Slot said when asked about Trent's reaction.
āI understand. Every player wants to play 90 minutes but I donāt think the players that were on the bench from the start were really happy with the choice I made."
He added: "Trent came back from the national team, where in the beginning of the tournament he played quite a lot and then he didnāt.
āHe had a few weeks off, came back and it is only his third game and we have to take care of him. We need him for the whole season and not only for the first two games.
āThe good thing for me is that I have a very good backup as well with Conor, that means we are taking care of Trent, but he played a good game.ā
