00:00In terms of Liverpool and their contract situation, Trent Alexander-Arnold was the big one to
00:08come in and ensure that he was main man. He's looking fantastic so far under Schlott. What's
00:14the latest you can tell us about him and any other players in terms of their contracts?
00:18We know, as we spoke before over the summer, there were quite a few of the main players
00:23as well where their contracts were maybe running a little thin.
00:27It's interesting because Trent Alexander-Arnold spoke after the Bournemouth game and broke
00:32silent on his contract situation. There's been a lot made about him, Van Dijk and Mo Salah.
00:37Obviously, Mo Salah spoke after the Man United game saying nobody at the club has spoken to him
00:42yet. Trent Alexander-Arnold, I don't want to say he's playing games, but I think he is saying,
00:50from a player's point of view, the right things. He said, I'll definitely be here this season.
00:57Then he said, I want to captain the club in the future. I want to win trophies. He's talked about
01:03how much he's enjoying working with Arnold Schlott. I get the impression he's almost saying
01:09to Liverpool, come on, let's start now. I deserve a bumper deal. I want to stay here as my boyhood
01:17club. He's sort of teasing that I've got options here. If I want to start speaking to clubs in
01:23January abroad, Real Madrid being the one, then I can. Let's be honest, who wouldn't want to sign
01:30Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free? The key to the priority for me, Mo Salah and Van Dijk,
01:38are a little bit different seeing as they're 33 and 34 respectively. Van Dijk's been in
01:43period form this season. Mo Salah starts the season in fine fettle. It's interesting that
01:51Trent Alexander-Arnold in the mix zone has taken the decision to go over and speak to
01:57two reporters about that because he can avoid it. He's quite clearly wanted to get his point out
02:04on this one. He's quite clearly wants to go over and say, you know what, I need to
02:08maybe get my feelings across. Maybe he's read a couple of things from fans he hasn't liked.
02:13Maybe he thinks he's saying, no, I need to get my points across here. There's been so much
02:19clamour for Trent Alexander-Arnold to move into midfield for a couple of years now. We know his
02:26quality on the ball, what he can do with his range of pass. But that's the priority and it's one for
02:33Sporting Director Richard Hughes to certainly get to work on. I think there will be a few games to
02:39be played certainly if Trent Alexander-Arnold has won and Liverpool have got to find a way to
02:43overcome that. But unfortunately for fans, Arne Slott won't be drawn on. He's very much taking
02:51the stance that contract talks remain private. So there won't be many updates, I don't think,
02:57until maybe a deal is actually signed.
