Ibrahima Konate Confuses Fans With Alexander-Arnold Comment

Trent Alexander-Arnold went public with his decision to leave boyhood club Liverpool to pursue a new challenge after the conclusion of his contract.

The defender has been with the Reds for 20 years, coming through the academy to become a two-time Premier League and Champions League winner.

While supporters were split between feeling frustrated at losing a key player and wishing the right-back well for the future, the majority of his teammates came out with positive messages of support. The likes of Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Cody Gakpo all expressed their love for the 26-year-old and wished him well in his next adventure.

One man who responded with an unusual message that has been taken in different ways by many fans was Ibrahima Konate. The towering centre-back commented on Alexander-Arnold’s Instagram post with three love hearts and the message: “Big L.” Some have seen this as an expression of love, while others have taken it as a discreet dig at his departing colleague in the form of ‘big loss’.
