Liverpool fans were left dreaming of a blockbuster transfer for Kylian Mbappe after the French superstar liked a tweet comparing him to Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Reds’ right-back put in a blinder of a performance as the Premier League leaders thrashed Leicester on boxing day.
The table-topping Reds smashed four past second-placed Leicester City without reply as they ran riot at the King Power Stadium.
The result put one hand on the league title for Jurgen Klopp’s side , who are still unbeaten and have only dropped points once.
Alexander-Arnold had one of the best performances of his already-glittering career, as he provided two assists and scored in the rout.

Mbappe himself did little to squash the speculation, as he liked a Bleacher Report tweet comparing himself to Alexander-Arnold.The French forward has been linked with a surprise move to the world champions after it was confirmed that Nike would be the club’s new kit manufacturers, and reportedly want a big-name signing to launch their new kit.
And Mbappe – a Nike athlete – would fit the billing perfectly, as he had previously hinted he would be open to leaving the Parisiens for a new challenge.
Some Reds fans took that as a hint that Alexander-Arnold was publicly calling for the Paris Saint-Germain superstar to make the switch to Anfield.
