Trent Alexander-Arnold could make a return to the Premier League after all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trent Alexander-Arnold\u2019s dream move to Real Madrid has turned into a real slog. A shaky first season hampered by injuries ultimately cost him a spot in Thomas Tuchel\u2019s England World Cup squad, which was a massive reality check for the former Liverpool star. <\/p>\n

\n

Things haven\u2019t improved much under Jose Mourinho either, with the Portuguese manager favoring Denzel Dumfries at right-back at times, despite making three starts.<\/p>\n

According to TEAMtalk<\/a>, Trent Alexander-Arnold isn\u2019t looking for an exit from Real Madrid just yet, despite a handful of Premier League heavyweights sniffing around. <\/p>\n

Intermediaries have contacted Chelsea<\/a>, Man City, Arsenal, and even his former club Liverpool, but the 27-year-old is set on sticking it out in Spain rather than packing his bags in January.<\/p>\n

It is claimed that English clubs do have potential interest in Alexander-Arnold and have remained attentive to his situation since he left the UK.<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s right-back situation under Xabi Alonso<\/h2>\n

Under Xabi Alonso, Chelsea find themselves sitting pretty at right-back with a mix of world-class quality and raw talent.<\/p>\n

When healthy, Reece James remains the gold standard, giving Alonso a dominant presence who can ping passes, drive forward, or shut down wingers without missing a beat. But Malo Gusto is no after-thought. He\u2019s turned into a real weapon with his engine, sharp overlapping runs, and comfort stepping into midfield when Alonso wants a inverted look. <\/p>\n

Throw in high-flying youngster Josh Acheampong, who keeps showing he\u2019s ready for minutes<\/a>, and Alonso has a right-side setup most managers in Europe would kill for. It completely rules out the need to spend big on emergency fixes like Trent Alexander-Arnold.<\/p>\n
