And recently Torres, who has bulked up significantly since he retired in 2019, shared a video of a boxing workout he was doing while wearing a Reds top which had Alexander-Arnold’s name on the back.

 

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, Torres – who came through the youth system at Atletico Madrid before moving to England – explained the reasoning behind his choice of attire.

‘I think Trent is a special player for the supporters, (and) also for me as a former player,’ he said.

‘It’s really nice to see young players develop the way they are doing and become one of the main players in the first team.

‘I’m sure Liverpool fans love him because he’s one of them and he’s playing on the field at the level he’s doing.

‘It’s similar to what I did in Atletico – from the stands to the pitch and I always felt I was special for the fans.’

He continued: ‘I’m sure Trent is feeling exactly the same. He’s a scouser playing for the first team and being important, one of the main players.

 

‘For all of us, he’s a special guy. I managed to get his shirt and I like to put it on to do some training.’

Nevertheless, he revealed he would have loved to have been on the same team as Alexander-Arnold, as he hailed the 25-year-old’s ability.

 

‘I always think it would be so nice to be able to play with him and receive these kind of crosses he does,’ he added.
