After shrugging off the naysayers, Alexander-Arnold ended the season on a high with a host of inspired performances for club and country in more advance midfield role.
Now, the 24-year-old appears ready to show the best version of himself ahead of the new season…starting with a fresh trim.
The dreadlocks have been ditched in favour of simple and easy to maintain cut, as seen in a video clip released by the club.
Luis Diaz and new teammate Alexis Mac Allister were amongst the first to see the new look and the Colombian winger could not hide his laughter at seeing the right-back with much less hair.
The England star can then be heard saying: “The hair speaks for itself, fresh start, new season, new me, we’re back and we’re better.”
With a new style in place, all that remains is for Alexander-Arnold to fine tune his fitness ahead of the new campaign.
