Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed the formidable partnership he’s established with Mohamed Salah is something that has developed ‘naturally’.
The pair have been in sensational form down Liverpool’s right side, with both players notching an impressive nine assists each in the Premier League this season.
England star Alexander-Arnold, already has as many league assists as he managed in the whole of the last campaign, whilst Salah has further enhanced his reputation as one of the world’s best with a prolific goal-scoring record of 23 goals in 26 games.
The Egyptian forward joined the Reds from Roma in 2017, around the same time academy graduate Alexander-Arnold began to figure in Jurgen Klopp’s plans.

Since then the lethal duo have been a cornerstone of the club’s success both domestically and in Europe over the last few years.
When asked how the pair built such a wonderful understanding of each other’s game, Alexander-Arnold explained it was something which developed organically.
“It just happens naturally,” the 23-year-old England told the Athletic .
“It depends on the opposition, too. We are able to identify weaknesses and weak points in our opposition, so throughout the game we might talk about what will work.
“I might say, ‘Stay inside and drag their full-back in as much as you can and leave the space on the outside for me’.
"Or he might be wider and I’m inside. We just have to identify what it is we can do to hurt the opposition and we adapt to that in-game.
“Our relationship is very natural. We both try to allow each other to play our own game. I will give him the ball and if he is in and around the box I will leave him to it.
“He will go and express himself, go and do something special. He will do the same for me. There is no moaning or arguments.
“We are two players who understand that we like making things happen, we like to take risks and want to be involved in as many goals as we can so we try to allow each other to do that.”
