Trent Alexander-Arnold has played down suggestions he is working on persuading Jude Bellingham to join Liverpool despite sharing a close relationship with the midfielder on international duty.
Both players are out in Qatar with the England squad with Bellingham one of the standout performers for the Three Lions at the World Cup so far. The 19-year-old has started each of England's three group games and scored in the opening win over Iran as he continues to shine on the world stage.
Alexander-Arnold's game time has been more limited than his team-mate, having featured just once from the bench in the win over Wales, though he has been getting close to the Borussia Dortmund star away from the pitch. The pair shared some downtime on Wednesday evening - 24 hours after England booked their passage to the last 16.
