Fans have responded to the new Liverpool signing meeting his teammates for the first time.
A video posted online shows Trent Alexander-Arnold’s initial interaction with new Liverpool player Federico Chiesa, sparking conversation among supporters.
Chiesa, who joined Liverpool from Juventus for a total fee of £12.5 million, was officially announced as a new player on Thursday.
He signed a four-year contract, marking him as the second signing since Arne Slot took over from Jurgen Klopp, with Giorgi Mamardashvili joining earlier.
The video of Chiesa and Alexander-Arnold meeting has drawn attention, with fans reacting on social media. In the clip, Alexander-Arnold greets Chiesa with a hug and then turns to the camera with a smile, saying, “New boy on the block.”
Given Alexander-Arnold’s recent discontent after being substituted in Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Brentford, fans are pleased to see him in a positive light.
Reactions on X included comments like, “Trent looks fired up seeing Chiesa,” and “Trent and Chiesa meet; I have a feeling they’ll score a lot of goals together.” One fan even joked, “Did you hear the perfect clap on the dap between Trent and Chiesa? Great omen.”
After the Brentford match, Slot addressed Alexander-Arnold’s reaction to being substituted in the 73rd minute. Slot acknowledged, “I understand why Trent might be unhappy about coming off; every player wants to play the full match.
However, we need to manage him carefully as it’s only his third game back after some time off.”
Slot emphasized the importance of managing Alexander-Arnold’s fitness throughout the season, noting that having a solid backup like Conor helps with this strategy.
