Iconic number: Trent Alexander-Arnold set for new era at Real Madrid

Trent Alexander-Arnold is set for a new era at Real Madrid as the England international will wear the No.12 shirt donning the number 66 that he wore during his entire Liverpool career.

Arnold has completed a dream move to Real Madrid and has been unveiled in the Spanish capital. He’s now set to have a new number as well as a new name on the back of his jersey.

La Liga rules state that first-team players must wear a shirt number between one and 25, with Nos. 13 and 25 reserved specifically for goalkeepers. Alexander-Arnold will now wear No.12 for his new club this coming season.

The No.12 was worn for over a decade by a former Bernabeu favourite in Marcelo; the Brazilian left-back made the number his own during a trophy-laden 16-year spell in the Spanish capital. Eduardo Camavinga then donned the number for a short while before switching to the No.6 last season.

Also, the defender will have Trent on the back of his shirt rather than his surname.

Alexander-Arnold, who has signed a six-year deal with Real, has already changed his Instagram account to remove the number 66 from his handle, with his new account tag just @trent.
