For almost a decade, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold have formed a dominant partnership on Liverpool’s right flank, combining to deliver devastating performances that have overwhelmed opposition defenses. Since Salah’s arrival in 2017, their synergy has been a driving force behind Liverpool’s attacking success, playing pivotal roles in the team’s triumphs across all major competitions.

Off the field, their friendship mirrors their on-pitch understanding. Speaking to Stadium Astro, Alexander-Arnold admitted feeling a deeper connection with Salah than with his new teammate Dominik Szoboszlai. “If I’m honest, it’s Mo,” he shared. “We’ve known each other for years and played together so often that our bond has naturally grown, especially on the pitch. Even during tough moments, there’s no complaining—we just instinctively understand each other.”

The camaraderie extends beyond the stadium, as Alexander-Arnold often visits Salah’s home for tea—though he humorously noted he never cooks. During one such visit, Salah captured a video of Alexander-Arnold in a less-than-flattering moment, which, according to the right-back, “can never be revealed.”
