Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has enjoyed a superb start to the season for club and country.

Darren Bent says Alexander-Arnold is completely unique, with the Liverpool defender having shone for England in the recent international break.

Arne Slot warmly welcomed Alexander-Arnold back to Merseyside following his England displays, having been named as Man of the Match against both Ireland and Finland.

Liverpool did, however, suffer a shock 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield in their first match back.

Alexander-Arnold played at both right-back and midfield in the loss, but was unable to inspire the Reds on home soil.

Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold sends message to Man City wonderkid

He will now be preparing to bounce back immediately, with Liverpool taking on AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Alexander-Arnold has, however, taken time out of his busy schedule to send a signed shirt and boots to Manchester City youngster Tyrese Noubissie.

The teenager shared an image of the gift on his Instagram story, with Alexander-Arnold writing the message: "To Tyrese, best wishes. Keep chasing the dream bro!"

Currently out injured, Man City signed 'wonderkid' Noubissie from Leicester City last summer, as per talkSPORT.

Trent Alexander-Arnold needs new Liverpool deal as soon as possible

Alexander-Arnold has been a key player under Slot so far, with the manager already trying to balance the defender's minutes on the pitch.

Keeping him fit should be a priority this season, although the England star is very likely to once again get the nod from the start against AC Milan given the need to get off to a strong start in Europe.

Liverpool will be up against it from the very start in Italy, with Slot really needing a win in order to shake off the major disappointment against Forest.

Slot wanted more creativity in his midfield with the decision to put Alexander-Arnold in midfield, but it came at a cost, with Conor Bradley defending very poorly for the Forest winner.

Worryingly, Alexander-Arnold's deal at Liverpool will expire next summer, with the powers that be on Merseyside needing to sort out a new deal sooner rather than later.
