BREAKING NEWS Trent Alexander-Arnold is unveiled by Real Madrid at his medical - but is forced to take a new shirt number after being BANNED from taking his Liverpool 66
Trent Alexander-Arnold has arrived in Spain ahead of his unveiling as a Real Madrid player. The England star will be unveiled at 11.30am UK time by club president Florentino Perez as he embarks on a six-year deal with the European giants. After leaving Liverpool a month early for £10million, the right-back has taken the shirt number 12 - a number often reserved for back-up goalkeepers, though not in Spain. Fans were gathered outside the club's medical provider's facilities bright and early this morning in eager anticipation of seeing their new man. His is a lower-key introduction than the one Kylian Mbappe was treated to last summer, with 80,000 fans turning up to the Santiago Bernabeu to welcome the Frenchman on a rapturous day. Alexander-Arnold - who will be known on his kit as 'Trent' - will dive straight into the action with Los Blancos at the Club World Cup. Trent Alexander-Arnold pictured undergoing his medical ahead of his Real Madrid unveiling Trent Alexander Arnold signing some Real Madrid shirts 🤍 — Kay | Snapchat & IG Ads (@KayRMFC) June 12, 2025 Madrid will jet off the the USA soon ahead of group stage fixtures against Al-Hilal, Pachuca and Red Bull Salzburg. That will be the 26-year-old's first chance to impress new manager Xabi Alonso, who has replaced Carlo Ancelotti on a three-year contract after a mightily impressive stint at Bayer Leverkusen. As well as his new kit number, Alexander-Arnold has been forced to make another change from his life at Liverpool after being banned from taking his prized possession over to Spain. The one thing from home that he won't be able to take to his new club is his £130,000 Range Rover that he has been driving around England. That's because Madrid have a sponsorship agreement with BMW, which prevents players driving any other cars to the club's training ground, according to El Motor. The car manufacturer provides Real Madrid players with cars to use throughout the season, meaning they will hook up Alexander-Arnold with a new drive. Mbappe and Jude Bellingham have opted for the BMW XM, which costs around £152,000 but will be given to the defender for free. Alexander-Arnold opted to run down his contract to leave his boyhood club on a free transfer at the end of the season, leading to an angry response from some Liverpool fans. — Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) June 11, 2025 Alexander-Arnold's Instagram handle changed from '@trentarnold66' to '@trent' The right-back will don the shirt for the first time under Real boss Xabi Alonso next week After announcing his decision to leave in early May, Alexander-Arnold was booed by his own supporters when he came off the bench during a 2-2 draw with Arsenal at Anfield. A number of his team-mates and Arne Slot leapt to his defence after that game as they asked fans to remember his previous years of service. The England international did not feature in Liverpool's next game - a 3-2 away defeat by Brighton - but did come on as a half-time substitute on the final day against Crystal Palace. On that occasion, he received a much better reception from supporters, and he was then cheered by most fans when he went up to collect his medal during the post-match presentation as Liverpool lifted the Premier League trophy. Alexander-Arnold broke down in tears as he did a lap of honour to thank fans after the presentation, and he was seen crying again during Liverpool's open-top bus parade the following day.

Ginola makes Howey's most skilful top three
Throughout Thursday, we have been revealing who Newcastle legend Steve Howey believes are the club's most skilful players awards third place to David Ginola, who Newcastle beat European giants Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus to sign in to BBC Radio Newcastle, Howey recalled his first training session with his former team-mate."We used to test players when they used to come into the training ground for the first time as the standard of our five-a-side was absolutely incredible, and not a lot of players could deal with it," he said. "And there were a couple of new signings that didn't recover. "The very first ball that [Ginola] got was whipped in at him and bounced horribly, but he killed it stone-dead, dropped his shoulder, went the other way and stuck it right in the top corner. "I didn't know that much about him, but wow. what a player and a great lad as well. Back then, you could absolutely whack a player, and David used to get hit, but he never went down unless he was wiped out."Such a good player and so comfortable with both feet."Listen on BBC Sounds - and return to this page later to discover the top two

Former Premier League icon, 40, scores stunning free-kick to send boyhood club to LaLiga play-offs
A Premier League cult icon has shown that he's very much still got it at the tender age of 40 with a stunning free-kick to put his boyhood club into the LaLiga play-off final. Real Oviedo faced Almeria for a chance to play for a spot in the LaLiga play-off finals on Wednesday night, having won the first leg on the road 2-1, but were down a goal early on at home. But then, at the break, the hosts needed something special if they were to hold on to their dream of promotion, and they looked to the bench for some inspiration. It was there they found former Spain and Arsenal legend Santi Cazorla, who was back at his boyhood club where he is still going into his fifth decade. Within three minutes of his entrance, Oviedo had won a free-kick on the edge of the box, and there was only one man who would be taking the set-piece. Up stepped the veteran captain, and duly curled the ball into the bottom left corner, to score the decisive goal and put Oviedo into the final. "The fairytale story continues!" 🎙️ At 40 years old, Santi Cazorla scores the free kick that sends his boyhood club Real Oviedo through to the LALIGA promotion playoff final 🙌 What a moment 💙 — Premier Sports (@PremSportsTV) June 11, 2025 Cazorla's return to the club in 2023 is one of the most romantic stories in the game, having signed on at the minimum legal wage, and sent all the proceeds from his shirt sales to the club's academy. This comes after his career was almost ended following a succession of injuries which culminated with a flesh-eating infection that almost saw him lose his leg, with his Arsenal career ending prematurely after 636 days out of action. it appeared that football would lose one of the most technically gifted players of his generation. Cazorla was one of the few players who was completely two-footed, famously going to take a corner from one side, before being asked to switch feet in the middle of the match. At Arsenal he was lauded for his passing, dribbling and ball control in midfield, with a memorable performance against Manchester City at the Etihad in 2015 living long in the hearts and minds of Gunners fans. However they were robbed of a farewell by his injury, and his career looked set to end on the sidelines before Villarreal took a chance on the maestro. There he rebuilt his career, before a stint in Qatar and eventually a romantic return to Oviedo, where, regardless of what happens in the play-off final, he has already shown his class on the biggest stage. Before his international retirement, Cazorla notched up 15 goals in 81 international appearances.
