Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has admitted everyone at the club is disappointed that Trent Alexander-Arnold has decided to leave at the end of the season.
Slot has not spoken in person to the defender since the announcement – only via WhatsApp – but intends to talk to him on Friday to see how he is feeling about the fallout, which has received a mixed reception from fans and pundits.
“I think, like everybody who likes Liverpool and is a fan of Liverpool, we are disappointed for him leaving because not only a good human being is leaving the club but a very good full-back is leaving us as well,” said Slot.
“But I also worked at clubs like AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord, where every season a very good player or multiple very good players have left the club, so I am a bit more used to it.
“But the experience I have – and by the way this club as well – is that if a very good player is leaving, the next very good player will step up and that probably will happen now.”

Juan Soto’s bullpen visits: Sunflower seeds and scouting reports
NEW YORK — Juan Soto, honorary member of the New York Mets bullpen?“Hey, at this point,” Mets reliever Ryne Stanek said, smiling, “he comes by so often that we might as well give him that title.”Soto, the superstar right fielder, visits the Mets’ bullpen before games, between pitching changes — really, anytime there’s a break in the action that allows him an opportunity to pop in.AdvertisementIt’s not completely unusual for a right fielder to linger by the wall near where the relievers reside or stop in the bullpen for a quick hello or sip of a drink. But Soto is different. He visits all the time.“He does it way more than others,” said Stanek, who is in his ninth major-league season. “We love it.”Added Mets reliever Max Kranick, “We look forward to his visits.”Earlier this season, Soto referred to the […]

49ers’ Mykel Williams makes strong rookie camp impression; team adds 2 more veteran OTs
SANTA CLARA — On a day when 51 players hit the field for rookie camp on Friday, the real news for the San Francisco 49ers was back inside the building as they continue to address the biggest miss in their recent draft: the offensive line.The Niners signed seventh-year offensive tackle Andre Dillard, a 2019 first-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles, and former Tennessee Titans tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere. This comes a week after they signed veteran tackle D.J. Humphries. They can foreseeably all take a crack at right tackle Colton McKivitz’s starting job or the swing tackle role after the 49ers didn’t draft a tackle two weeks ago.AdvertisementAmong the moves the 49ers made to make room for Dillard and Petit-Frere was releasing defensive end Drake Jackson, the team’s 2022 second-round pick. Jackson missed all of last season with a knee injury […]
