Trent Alexander-Arnold wins legal battle! Liverpool star to be allowed to keep £50,000 padel court in garden of plush mansion but he may NEVER use it again

The Daily Mail reports that the 26-year-old built the sports court at his £5 million Cheshire mansion without permission from East Cheshire Council. However, the report states he has been allowed to keep it after agreeing to the council's retrospective conditions. But amid growing Real Madrid transfer rumours, the England international may not stay around to use it for much longer.

Madrid are upping their efforts to bring Alexander-Arnold to La Liga this summer, with the star now into the last few months of his Liverpool contract. At the moment, it seems the right-back will end his lengthy stay with his boyhood club as a momentous Los Blancos transfer inches closer.

Alexander-Arnold bought his current property from Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling in 2022. The padel court now will go alongside a swimming pool, cinema, games room, and bar at the five-acre mansion.

Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold will be focusing on helping Liverpool beat Premier League basement side Southampton at Anfield on Saturday.
