TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD is set to change squad number at Real Madrid.
The England full-back, 26, is expected to be unveiled by the Spanish giants later today.

Throughout his Liverpool career, Alexander-Arnold wore the No66.
In LaLiga, however, the No66 is not allowed.
The Spanish top flight demands that first team players wear numbers between one and 25, with 13 and 25 specifically for goalkeepers.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Alexander-Arnold will wear No12 at Real Madrid.
The number was worn with distinction by Marcelo between 2006 and 2022.
More recently it was occupied by Eduardo Camavinga, before the Frenchman switched to No6 12 months ago.
It’s also claimed that Alexander-Arnold will wear “Trent” on the back of his shirt – rather than his surname.
The former Liverpool star has already made changes to his Instagram account.

His username was previously @trentarnold66 – but is now just @trent.
The Merseyside star has also changed his bio to feature “Real Madrid C.F.”
Alexander-Arnold agreed a six-year deal with the Spanish giants after turning down a new contract at Liverpool.
It initially looked as though he would move for free, before Real Madrid offered £10million to get the move done in time for the Club World Cup.
The two-time Premier League winner could make his Real Madrid debut at the revamped competition in the US.
