The reason Fernando Torres was seen exercising in a Liverpool jersey belonging to Trent Alexander-Arnold has now been disclosed by the player.

After four years at the club and 81 goals in 142 games, Torres, now 40 years old, is a fan favorite at Anfield.

Although his January 2011 transfer to Chelsea for a then-British record £50 million cost somewhat tarnished his legacy, the former Spain striker is still highly esteemed at Liverpool.Tоrres, whо hаs put оn а lоt оf muscle since retiring in 2019, recently pоsted а videо оf himself wоrking оut in а Reds shirt thаt included аlexаnder-аrnоld’s nаme.

In an interview with Liverpoolfc.com, Torres—who was a product of Atletico Madrid’s development system before making the move to England—explained his clothing decision. As a former player, he shared the opinion that Trent is a unique player for both the fans and himself.

It’s great to watch how these young guys are stepping up to the plate and becoming key contributors for the first team.Since he’s a fellow Reds fan and is performing at such a high level for his team, I have no doubt that the fans adore him.

From the stands to the pitch, I always felt special for the fans, much as when I was at Atletico.

“I hаve nо dоubt thаt Trent is experiencing the sаme thing,” he went оn tо sаy. Being а key plаyer аnd а Scоuser, he plаys fоr the first teаm.

Everyone here thinks he’s exceptional. Whenever I go for a run, I put on his jersey that I got from him.

When Torres was a player for Liverpool, he shared the pitch with legends like Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard, and Pepe Reina.

But he did commend Alexander-Arnold’s talent and said he wished he had been on the same squad as the 25-year-old.

Additionally, he mentioned that he had a fantasy of playing with him and receiving the same crosses as he does.

To be on the same squad as Trent and be prepared to head those crosses would be an honor. In my opinion, it has the makings of a solid bond.Since making his debut for the club he grew up with in 2016, Alexander-Arnold has blossomed into a top-tier right defender.

The Reds’ academy alum has played in almost 300 games and set up 82 goals across all competitions.
