Trent Alexander-Arnold has expressed his preference for Jürgen Klopp as the next England manager, should the position become available.

The England and Liverpool defender reflected positively on his past experiences with Klopp, describing their time together as filled with “amazing memories” and a strong, “amazing bond.”

Despite his endorsement, Alexander-Arnold admits he would be astonished if Klopp were to take on the role.

Klopp, who has been linked with the England job since Gareth Southgate’s resignation following England’s 2-1 defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final, seems to be enjoying his current break from football.

Alexander-Arnold noted that Klopp’s social media activity and recent public statements suggest he is content with his time off, making it seem unlikely that he would step into the England manager’s position.

While names like Graham Potter, Eddie Howe, and Lee Carsley have been floated as potential candidates, Alexander-Arnold’s comments highlight his belief in Klopp’s potential but also recognize the improbability of such a move given Klopp’s current enjoyment of his hiatus.

Former Super Eagles captain Austin Jay-Jay Okocha has shared his thoughts on Victor Osimhen’s next career move, saying the final decision belongs to the striker alone. Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli permanently this summer after a successful loan spell at Galatasaray, where he won the league, League Cup, and the Golden Boot.

Osimhen has already rejected offers from Saudi side Al-Hilal, making it clear he wants to continue playing in Europe. Speaking to Sport 247, Okocha stressed that Osimhen must make the choice himself.

“The decision is his to make. Whether it works out or not, he has to own it,” Okocha said. He added that no one else should dictate Osimhen’s future, saying the striker should do what is best for himself and his family.
