Trent Alexander-Arnold has agreed to join Real Madrid from Liverpool, talkSPORT understands.

Alexander-Arnold will move to the Bernabeu on a long-term deal when his Reds contract expires at the end of the season.

The England international, who has been on Liverpool’s books since 2004, has been in discussions with Real since January.

The Spanish giants are believed to have kept Liverpool informed throughout the process.

Alexander-Arnold has made more than 250 Premier League appearances for his hometown club, winning every major domestic honour.

Reece James has admitted that his muted celebration last night was due to his surprise that his free-kick resulted in a goal.

The Chelsea star found the back of the net in England's 3-0 win over Latvia with a glorious set-piece late in the first half.

Stepping up from all of 30 yards, James curled his effort around the Latvia goal and into the top corner of the Wembley net.

While his teammates swarmed him to celebrate his effort, James kept a straight face - a reaction that was unusual given the quality of his strike and the fact it was his first goal for his country.

But reflecting on his celebration in his first Three Lions appearance since 2022, James insisted there was nothing to worry about.

Asked about his relaxed celebration on ITV, he smiled: "I was surprised it hit the back of the net.

"I thought the keeper could have maybe got there but looking at the replay, it was probably tough."

He added: "I saw the wall and I thought I could bend it round and thankfully I managed to hit the back of the net."

Turkey and Real Madrid's Arda Guler has hit back at Domink Szoboszlai's very specific criticism.

The pair clashed on Sunday night as Turkey beat Hungary 3-0 in the Nations League for a 6-1 aggregate win that saw Szoboszlai's side relegated to League B.

During the match, Guler, who scored, shushed the Liverpool midfielder during an on-pitch clash.

The Hungary captain responded to a picture of the moment with the numbers 1088, referring to Guler's very few minutes for Madrid this season.

Now the 20-year-old has replied, with a brutal Instagram story which read: "This guy is a joke.

I would have loved to have celebrated with the team."

Musiala said at the time: "That's his assist."

Dean Huijsen won't be at Bournemouth next season, according to teammate Justin Kluivert.

Spanish outlet MARCA managed to speak to the former Valencia wideman after Spain beat his Netherlands side in the Nations League.

Asked about his Cherries teammate, Kluivert said: “I know that next year he won’t be with us.”

Huijsen, who played with the Netherlands youth teams, had just played his first senior international matches, but for Spain.

The 19-year-old centre back opted to represent the country where he grew up instead of his Dutch birthplace.

He impressed in both games for Spain as they overcame the Dutch on penalties in an enthralling Nations League semi-final.

Strongly linked with Real Madrid, talkSPORT understands that Liverpool are also interested in the teen defender.

Signed from Juventus for a miserly £12.6million, it's understood that he has a £50m release clause this summer.

Simon Jordan has given his thoughts on former employee Steve Bruce going after Dwight Gayle.

Gayle criticised the ex-Newcastle manager's lack of tactics on a podcast interview, and Bruce surprisingly hit back.

Speaking after a win with his League One Blackpool side, Bruce made headlines as he sarcastically called Gayle 'legendary' before mentioning a big miss in the FA Cup against Manchester City.

talkSPORT host Jordan, who hired Bruce at Crystal Palace, wasn't a fan of the response, saying: "I think Steve should've risen above it.

"I think that was a laddy environment with two young lads guffawing at what he [Gayle] said.

"Bruce managed for me a long time ago and the one thing he did was get himself on the training pitch.

"Gayle is an average player who played at Palace and I doubt there is anything seeded in accuracy [in what he said] but it will play to the gallery to the people at Newcastle that didn't appreciate Steve Bruce and his brand of football."

Nottingham Forest fans had an unwelcome sight with talismanic striker Chris Wood hobbling off for New Zealand this morning.

Wood was taken off in the 54th minute of a 3-0 World Cup qualifying win over New Caledonia and limped to the sidelines.

The 33-year-old is the Premier League's fourth highest goalscorer this season with 18 efforts.

He's also a huge part of why Forest are currently in line to qualify for the Champions League, having scored 37 per cent of their goals.

On top of that, Fantasy Premier League players are also big fans, with a massive 48.4 per cent of participants owning the former Burnley striker.

Forest return to action on Sunday away at Brighton and will be hoping Wood is good to go by then.

Chelsea will reportedly have to pay Manchester United £5million if they do not permanently sign Jadon Sancho.

Sancho joined the Blues on a season-long loan last summer, with the deal including a £25million obligation if they finish 14th or higher as per reports.

The Athletic have now said Chelsea will have to pay a fee to United should they choose not to make the winger's move permanent.

This is said to have been part of the agreement in the deal, with the relations between the west London side and the player 'strong'.

Sancho got off to a flying start for Chelsea as he assisted three goals in his first three Premier League outings.

However, the 24-year-old has scored just two goals in 28 appearances.

Mohamed Salah wants to stay at Liverpool even though he hasn't yet agreed a new deal.

That's according to Reds legend Michael Owen, who believes that the club should alter their contract policy to keep hold of the Egyptian.

As it stands, Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the season once his current deal at Anfield expires on June 30.

He is yet to agree to new terms amid a potential final season at the club in which he has scored a stunning 32 goals in 43 matches.

However, ex-Liverpool striker Owen believes the 32-year-old wants to extend his stay, as long as Liverpool make one key change.

"Mo Salah's an interesting one.

You can't tell me that he's not going to be at the same level in three, four years.

"I mean, he's just unbelievable, so I would bend the rules, I would give him the contract, the length of contract.

"I'm also not that type of person, a fan that says, 'Just give him what he wants, he's brilliant, we'll win the league with him.' No, because you can't put your club at risk, but I don't think it's got to that stage.

"To replace him, it's going to cost an awful lot more, you're not going to pay a transfer fee for him.

"So I would do whatever it takes to keep him, and I think he wants to stay, but sources tell me that they're still quite a way apart."

Scotland were relegated from Nations League A after a 3-0 home defeat by Greece.

Steve Clarke's side made a decent start but goals from Giannis Konstantelias, Konstantinos Karetsas and Christos Tzolis had the visitors 3-1 up on aggregate with just 15 seconds of the second half played.

The Hampden crowd expressed their dissent on several occasions as Scotland never really looked like getting back into the game.

They now drop down to the second tier of the competition ahead of the next set of group games in the autumn of 2026.

Scotland had Ryan Christie back in the team after suspension with Lewis Ferguson the only player to drop out following the 1-0 first-leg win.
