Alexander-Arnold will reunite with England teammate Jude Bellingham in Madrid. The duo has developed a strong rapport over the past four years playing for the national team. Their partnership at one of football’s most storied clubs is highly anticipated by fans and analysts alike.The Irish Sun
Historically, English players at Real Madrid have experienced varied success. Laurie Cunningham made a significant impact between 1979-1984, while Steve McManaman enjoyed a trophy-laden stint from 1999-2003. David Beckham became a fan favorite during his tenure from 2003-2007. Others, like Michael Owen and Jonathan Woodgate, faced challenges during their time at the club. Alexander-Arnold aims to emulate the successes of his more illustrious predecessors.
