'I'd hate to be Liverpool', say fans after seeing what Bellingham did for TAA

ENGLAND superstar Jude Bellingham organised a surprise birthday present for team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold.

And Liverpool fans are worried Bellingham, 21, is trying to lure Alexander-Arnold - now 26 - to join him at Real.

TAA has been linked with a move to the Bernabeu the last few months, with his Anfield contract running out in June.

The two stars - who are close pals and holidayed together in the summer - are now on international duty with England ahead of the Nations League clashes with Greece and Finland and reunited at St George's Park.

And Bellingham decided to commemorate Alexander-Arnold's 26th birthday with a giant card that showed his team-mate with a caption that simply read: "Happy birthday, Trent."

But there was a catch as the star midfielder hid behind the present and waited for the full-back to finish with media duties.

After about 20 minutes of the ex-Borussia Dortmund star standing behind the board, Alexander-Anrold finally showed up.

The versatile midfielder went to have a look and that was when Bellingham emerged from his hiding spot to scare the Liverpool star.

The two team-mates went on to high-five each other, but many believe there is more than meets the eye.

One fan tweeted: "I’d hate to be Liverpool right now."

Another commented: "It’s so over for Liverpool."

A third wrote: "Real Madrid connection."

And a fourth stated: "Agent Jude."

Liverpool fans even went as far as to order Bellingham to "stay away" from Alexander-Arnold for the rest of the international break.

One tweeted: "Separate these two immediately, none of that luring to Madrid act."

Another wrote: "STAY AWAY!"

A third commented: "Cute idea.. but don’t you dare Jude."

Transfer rumours suggest Real see Alexander-Arnold as a replacement for Dani Carvajal at right-back.

However, Los Blancos just extended Carvajal's deal until 2026 despite him suffering a devastating injury last week that will sideline him for the rest of the season.
