They had reportedly been staying at the £1,500-a-night Aman hotel during their time in the city.

The couple started dating recently and were spotted together on a date in Cheshire last month.

A source told The Sun: “It’s very early days but they are officially dating — they seem really into each other. Trent hasn’t been single long and is enjoying spending time with Estelle.

“They’re just really enjoying each other’s company and seem quite smitten.”

Trent has been linked with a move away from Anfield

Alexander-Arnold came through the youth setup at Liverpool and has been with the club since 2006.

He could leave on a free transfer in the summer unless he pens a new contract and can start talks with European clubs TODAY.

Real Madrid have long been targeting a move for the England defender, with Alexander-Arnold understood to be tempted by a move to the Spanish capital.
