Real Madrid 'source' reveals what Trent Alexander-Arnold has done behind scenes that isn't normal for new signings

A Real Madrid source has admitted that Trent Alexander-Arnold has done something that isn't normal for new signings.

Earlier in the month, Alexander-Arnold left Liverpool for Madrid after the clubs agreed on a financial package which allowed him to depart Anfield early.

Last week, Alexander-Arnold showed off his Spanish skills as he was officially unveiled as a Madrid player.

He said: "Thank you all for this opportunity. Signing for Madrid doesn't happen every day. It's a dream come true. I'm really looking forward to showing my game to the Real Madrid fans.

"I'm aware of the responsibility that comes with playing here. I'm going to give it my all to show off my game and win lots of titles. Thank you very much, and Hala Madrid!"

Ahead of his potential debut on Wednesday, when Madrid kick off their FIFA Club World Cup campaign against Al Hilal.

Prior to the match, a Madrid source has indicated that the way Alexander-Arnold has carried himself has been exemplary and it already feels like he's been at the club for a while.

As reported by the Daily Mail, the source said: "It doesn’t feel like he just came here.

"The way he has carried himself over the last week has been exemplary."

Alexander-Arnold also revealed that he is able to speak to his fellow Madrid stars in Spanish.

The full-back said: "I have a decent base level of Spanish so I can hold a decent conversation with the lads and likewise they have a very good understanding of English so yeah it's easy to communicate."

Despite only joining the club recently, it seems that Alexander-Arnold is already loving life in his new surroundings.

The England international added: "I’m enjoying the change, I’m enjoying being a part of it. It feels really good and I’m happy to be here, to be honest."

After the match against Al Hilal, Madrid will take on Pachuca and RB Salzburg.

Ahead of the competition, Madrid boss Xabi Alonso stated: "We've been here for several days now. We'll be better positioned and everything will work better. We have to recognise where we are, keep possession and recover by being the more compact team.

"We've worked on that a lot. I feel that the players are eager after closing a chapter. There are new faces and the timing is right for everyone. I can say a lot now, but tomorrow the rock'n’roll begins, the moment of truth."
