Alexander-Arnold's contract expires this summer and the right-back has long been linked with a blockbuster move to Real Madrid. However, both Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah have been convinced to extend their deals despite links away, and Henry appears to have implored the defender to do the same.
WHAT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD AND HENRY SAID
Per Nicola Hickling, an investigative and forensic lipreader, who was speaking to OLBG, the pair's conversation went as follows:
JH: “You’ve been quiet. How did you get on?”
TAA: *nods* and says: “Being sensible.”
JH: Raises his hand slightly and says: “I want you to do the right thing”
TAA: “Yeah, yeah.”
JH: “Best way and don't panic.”
TAA: “Should I decide?”
JH: He nods very slowly and says: “Absolutely.” and then turns to say: “Let them know.”
TAA: Nods in agreement.
