Trent Alexander-Arnold’s new hairstyle has drawn comparisons to a young David Beckham, and his recent performances have further reinforced the comparison. The Liverpool defender started in a right-sided midfield role for England during the Euro 2024 qualifiers, impressing spectators with his goal-scoring and assist contributions. Taking some time away from the pitch at Paris Fashion Week, where he was also joined by Jude Bellingham, Alexander-Arnold showcased a new braided style.

Regardless of the hairstyle, some fans expressed that they were more concerned about his performance on the pitch. One follower stated, “I really don’t care about his haircut as long as he performs on the pitch.”

Former England captain David Beckham had previously expressed regret over his 2003 hairstyle, especially after meeting former South African President Nelson Mandela at the time. Reflecting on his iconic looks, Beckham admitted that some of them were really bad, and he hadn’t thought them through. He particularly regretted the decision to wear cornrows during that period.

Alexander-Arnold’s primary focus will be helping Liverpool regain major honors in the upcoming season, with Gareth Southgate hinting that he could continue playing in midfield for the national team. Southgate expressed excitement about Alexander-Arnold’s potential in midfield and praised his ability to provide something different compared to other midfield players.
